Speaking, the newly appointed Director General, Osun State APC gubernatorial Campaign Committee, Hon. Oluwole Oke expressed profound gratitude to the leadership and members of the party for counting him worthy.

He said: “After thanking God, I want to sincerely thank our leaders for considering me worthy and I feel highly honoured. With my appointment as the Director General of the gubernatorial campaign of our party for the forthcoming 2026 governorship election, I want to say that from this moment, we have issued Governor Ademola Adeleke a quit-notice. It is an honour done to all members of our great party in Osun State and I want to assure you that what I am seeing before us is victory. You can take this home, what I am seeing before us is victory and from this moment on, Governor Ademola Adeleke should start packing his loads from Government House.

“Let me say this, when all of us were in PDP, we narrowly won with 28,000 votes in 2022 governorship election. With all the conspiracies that I was party to. Now, you can imagine that all of us that were party to that success have now moved to the APC. It is very clear, there is nothing anyone can do. You can not manufacture any magic. We are specialists at removing a sitting Governor. Take this to the bank: we are specialists, we have done this severally, we are good at removing a sitting Governor and I can tell you from this moment on: His Excellency, my own brother, Governor Ademola Adeleke should start packing his luggage out of the Government House”, he affirmed.

In his remarks, the APC governorship candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, popularly called AMBO, gave glory to Almighty God for the successful constitution of the campaign committees just as he charged every member of the party to begin massive mobilization and grassroots campaigns for the success and victory of the party come August 15th, 2026 gubernatorial poll.

“Let me first give glory to the Almighty God for giving us the privilege today as we have constituted our campaign structure, and we have equally committed everything unto the Almighty God to direct us well. I strongly believe that this journey has been committed unto Him and we are going to land very well. Yes, the structure is on ground now. I want to appeal to all our party members to key into the structure so that by 15th of August, 2026 we will deliver a governorship candidate of Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji as a Governor of Osun State”, Oyebamiji stated.

Fielding questions from journalists, the newly appointed Director General, Osun Central, Prince Adebayo Adeleke expressed confidence in the ability and readiness of the party to win the next governorship election in the state.

“At the Senatorial level, we have three Directors General for Osun Central, East and West. To the glory of God, myself, is the Director General, Osun Central Senatorial District. I am elated and happy to take the job. I want to assure the people of Osun that our campaign will be ‘crime-free, crisis-free’ but at the same time warning the opposition parties that they should be careful of crisis.

The PDP/Accord for example is known and noted for crisis when it comes to campaign. We know them but by the grace of God the security operatives in the state will not give room for criminality. We thank God for that. We have nine Chairmen of the federal consistencies and we are to work with the federal constituencies in each of the Senatorial Districts. For me in Osun Central, we have three constituencies and when you see members of the committees in the three federal Constituencies, you will see people of timber and caliber. These are people that know politics, and I am assuring people of Osun for sure, Bola Oyebamiji is the next Osun Governor by 15th of August, 2026. By the grace of God,” he added.
