2026 Guber Election: You Have Grandiose Dream Of Your Party, Osun People Not ‘Political Cargo’, TICC Tells APC National Chairman
The Imole Campaign Council (TICC) submitted on Tuesday that APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda has a grandiose dream of his party while urging him to stop hoping that APC will win the August 15, 2026 governorship election in Osun State simply because of the deployment of governors, National Assembly members, local government chairmen and other political heavyweights to the State of the Living Spring ahead of the election in question.
The Campaign Council in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by the Chairman of Media and Publicity Committee, Rep Bamidele Salam described the APC National Chairman’s ‘trailer versus Keke Napep’ analogy as a clear demonstration of political arrogance and an indication that the APC leadership is yet to understand the realities of the Osun State political landscape.
APC should according to the campaign council be reminded that elections are won by the people and not by the number of governors, National Assembly members or political office holders that a party can assemble.
‘The people of Osun State are not waiting for political heavyweights from outside the state to decide their future, citizens who are eligible to vote are capable of making their own independent choice based on the performance of the government in power.
The APC National Chairman may have assembled what he called ‘political trailer’, but he should understand that the people of Osun State are not political cargo to be moved around by outsiders. They are the owners of the mandate, and they alone will determine who governs them.
The August 15 election will not be a contest between a trailer and a Keke Napep. It will be a contest between a performing governor who has earned the confidence of his people and an APC candidate who is struggling to gain acceptance among the electorate.
The reality on the ground is that Governor Ademola Adeleke enjoys tremendous goodwill among the people of Osun State because of the visible achievements of his administration. His record of achievements in road infrastructure, healthcare, education, workers’ welfare, water supply, agriculture, youth empowerment and other critical sectors speaks directly to the people.”
The APC governorship candidate, Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji is obviously weak and unpopular, the decision of the APC to rely heavily on political figures from outside Osun is an indication of its candidate’s inability to independently mobilise the people.”
Rather than boasting about the number of governors and National Assembly members being deployed to Osun, the APC should tell the people what its candidate has to offer. The people are interested in issues, performance and credible leadership, not political metaphors.
We urge the APC to respect the intelligence of the Osun electorate and focus its campaign on issues and credible alternatives rather than relying on boasts about political structures and external mobilisation’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
