The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Osun State, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, popularly known as AMBO, has described Governor Ademola Adeleke’s recent public outburst as a sign of growing concern over the outcome of the August 15, 2026 governorship election.
Oyebamiji urged Adeleke to refrain from making inflammatory comments that could be perceived as disrespectful to constituted authorities, particularly President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The APC candidate also condemned what he described as unguarded remarks directed at APC leaders, warning that the party would not tolerate comments he considered derogatory or disrespectful towards its chieftains and members.
Oyebamiji spoke while responding to journalists during his campaign tour, describing the governor’s recent comments as reckless and unbecoming of his office.
He claimed that the remarks reflected anxiety over what he described as the governor’s poor performance and the growing support for the APC.
“I feel sorry for the Governor because he knows he is already losing. I will advise him to start packing his luggage. It is obvious that he is jittery,” Oyebamiji said.
He added, “We have visited 27 Local Government Areas and people came out en masse to support us. They are yearning for a new Governor and for the party at the centre, the APC. I am not surprised by his outburst because he knows he is losing already.”
Oyebamiji expressed confidence that the APC would win the August 15 governorship election, saying his campaign had received significant support across the state.
“Come August 15th, 2026, APC is winning the election and I, Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, will become the Governor-elect. Our tour has been very wonderful. I want to appeal to our people to go to their polling units peacefully. We want this election to be free, fair and credible. We have the people and they are with us. We are confident of victory,” he added.
