The leadership and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State on Saturday declared their readiness to deliver two million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
The party leaders also reaffirmed their commitment to ensure the victory of all APC candidates for the State and National Assemblies in the 2027 general elections.
They stated that Osun remains a progressive state despite recent setbacks, saying, “We are resolute to deliver two million votes for President Tinubu and ensure victory for all APC standard-bearers.”
The declaration was made during a Victory Walk in Osogbo, led by the APC governorship candidate in the August 15, 2026 election, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), his running mate, Engr. Benjamin Kayode Adereti, the State Chairman, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, and other candidates of the party.
The walk, which drew over 50,000 residents, commenced from Ayetoro Junction through Igbona, Olonkoro, Ajegunle, Old Garage, Olaiya and Ogo-Oluwa, terminating at the party secretariat in Osogbo.
Addressing journalists, Oyebamiji described the turnout as unprecedented and an organic show of strength.
“This is fantastic and massive. This tells the whole world that re-electing our President is non-negotiable. We are targeting two million votes and it is achievable. This is an organic crowd, not an imported one,” he said.
On alliance with the Accord Party in the state, Oyebamiji said the APC remains open to working with any party ready to support Tinubu’s re-election.
In his remarks, State Chairman Lawal said the party structures are prepared to work tirelessly for victory.
“You can see the crowd for yourself. The APC is one united family and we are ready to win the presidential, senatorial, House of Representatives and House of Assembly elections,” he said.
Speaking, the APC candidate for Osun East Senatorial District, Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi, urged residents to translate the enthusiasm into votes.
“The APC doesn’t rent crowds. This crowd will transform into two million votes for our President. I don’t see any reason for anyone in Yorubaland not to vote for Tinubu,” he said.
Also speaking, the Osun West Senatorial candidate, Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi, said the turnout was proof of the party’s grassroots strength.
“This crowd is a confirmation of the organic votes we got in the last governorship election. We don’t rent crowds. This shows Osun will deliver for APC,” he stated.
In her remarks, the House of Representatives candidate for Irewole Federal Constituency, Hon. Taiwo Oluga, called on women in the 19 northern states to reciprocate the support Yoruba women gave former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 and 2019.
The Executive Director, Marine and Operations, Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Engr. Olalekan Badmus, described the walk as a show of strength and pointed to ongoing federal infrastructure projects in the state.
