He emphasised the need for collective action to reclaim the state from unfulfilled promises, assuring that the APC remains committed to delivering people-oriented governance by restoring transparency, accountability, and sustainable development in the state.
According to him, “Our youths should maintain peace, across the state and to come out in mass and exercise their rights dutyfully to vote for us as the best candidate, for Osun guber seat. Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji is ready to lead our state back to the state of pride among the comity of states.
“In Ife land, APC stand strong, the unity of purpose to defeat the incumbent Governor is in place, all the leaders of APC are in unison to ensure that we have the victory and a resounding one for that matter in the federal constituency, all our leaders from Senator Iyiola Omisore, Senator Omoworare, former deputy governor, Sooko Adeleke Adewoyin and all other leaders in Ife South, East and Central are all in one accord to chase away PDP/Accord away from government.”
The APC Zonal Youth Leader, Barrister Adesuyi Daramola urged the youths to start a rigorous door-to-door campaign for Oyebamiji in 2026 and President Bola Tinubu in 2027, asserting that victory is sure for the party in the coming days.
The Convener of the youth stakeholder meeting, Engr Olayioye Alabi, explained that “youths are the power house of the party, hence there is a need to get them on board for the coming poll in Osun. We will mobilise more youths for the party to ensure victory.”
