Osun 2026: Oyetola’s campaign posters handiwork of detractors, says APC

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday urged members of the public to disregard the governorship campaign posters of the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Mr Gboyega Oyetola, pasted in some strategic places in Osogbo, the state capital.

It described the printing and pasting of the posters as the handiwork of disgruntled elements whose ulterior motive was to destabilize the party.

This was contained in a press statement signed by APC’s Director of Media and Information, Mr. Kola Olabisi, which was forwarded to journalists in Osogbo.

The statement said, “We know where the promoters of the fake posters are coming from and their mission to unsettle the party and cause a cataclysm that has refused to either sit or stand.

“Our disappointment as the opposition party in Osun State today is that the faceless promoters and leg soldiers of this obnoxious development lack tact and diplomacy, just as a proverbial witch roared yesterday, and a child kicked the bucket the same day. Who doesn’t know that it was the devilish witch that killed the innocent child?

“The long and short of the analogy is that the state leader of the party, who is the immediate past governor of Osun State, did not print any poster for any political ambition, let alone pasting the same, as falsely credited to him in the said posters.

“The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy did not direct anyone to either print or paste any poster for him, whether for socio-political or economic purposes. The printing and pasting of the posters were the use of propaganda and stratagem by his political detractors, a manifestation of a joke taken too far in order to unjustifiably lower his repute in the estimation of the forward-looking members of our party.

“Our joy is that the metaphorical arrow being shot by the emissaries of division has missed its target. We should expect more of the conjectured stories from the expired politicians who are deeply pained by their forceful severance from the progressive party.”
