A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun, Honourable Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, on Sunday said the electoral victory recorded by Governor Biodun Oyebanji in Ekiti State during the recently concluded gubernatorial poll will be replicated in Osun on August 15.

Describing the election as a vivid endorsement of Oyebanji’s performance, he noted that the result reflected the people’s confidence in progressive governance, noting that his  administration had remained focused on development, inclusiveness and the welfare of citizens.

In a statement forwarded to journalists, Oyintiloye, who hitherto represented Obokun State Constituency in the Osun State legislature, contended the APC’s win in Ekiti signalled the party’s popularity, just as he expressed optimism that the party would secure an even more decisive victory during the forthcoming governorship election in Osun State.

He, however, lauded the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), led by its chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, and the national secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, for providing strategic leadership, which observed, had strengthened the party nationwide.

The statement reads, “Ekiti governorship poll result has shown that when a party is united, focused and committed to grassroots engagement, victory becomes very easy.

“It is a clear lesson for us in Osun that teamwork, dedication and collective responsibility are indispensable for electoral success.

“By the grace of God, the people of Osun will do the same on August 15, 2026, by electing Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji as the next governor of the state.

“The victory secured by the APC in Ekiti will be replicated in Osun. The party is widely accepted by the people, and this is a clear signal to the ruling party to brace for defeat. Our candidate is ready, the party is ready and the electorate are ready to repeat the same victory in Osun.

“We are ready. We have waited long enough, and by August 15, the victory recorded in Ekiti will be replicated in Osun, and the state will return to progressive leadership, “the statement concluded.
