By Ismail Azeez, Osogbo

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Osun State in 2026 , Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji has expressed readiness to take the state to a greater height when he becomes governor.

Oyebamiji disclosed this on Saturday in his open acceptance speech after he was affirmed as the APC governorship candidate, saying that he will make party leaders and the good people of Osun State proud.

According to him, “As your candidate in the 2026 governorship election, I assure you that I am fully prepared for the job, and God willing, we will make leaders and the good people of Osun State proud.

He commended his co‑aspirants for their unrelenting commitment and for sacrificing their personal ambitions for the continued progress of the party.

He thanked the Igbimo Agba Osun, the elders’ caucus of party for standing firm when it mattered.

He said, “Our state, Osun, is presently at a crossroads between real progress and frivolity, between accountability and wastefulness.

“We have been summoned once more to reevaluate our stand as a people. Where all-round education is the pillar upon which our existence revolves.

“Our founding fathers had their intentions clearly mapped out. They desired a society where systems work. A community where shared economic prosperity is at the core of public policy.

“We are committed to elevating the standard of living for every Osun resident by alleviating poverty, eradicating hunger, and promoting a functional educational system for all.

“The health system in Osun State is currently moribund; we intend to revitalise it, thereby reducing the need for medical tourism. The welfare of the populace and communal peace and progress are paramount to our party, as they foster an environment where opportunity abounds and innovation flourishes.

“Consequently, I invite well-meaning citizens of Osun State and our party faithful to join us on the progressive journey to reposition our state for greater heights. The task before us is huge but achievable. Therefore, as I offer myself for service, I sincerely invite my co-aspirants, members of our political party, and other Progressives who may be outside our fold now to join me in reversing our dear state from its drift into total systemic collapse,” he said.
