As the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun gears up for the August 8th, 2026 elections, the governorship ambition of the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO) today received a significant boost in Ayedaade Local Government, as leaders, stakeholders and members of the party heartily received the team of AMBO Grassrooters who were in the LG in continuation of the sensitization and mobilization tour of Osun local governments.

He revealed that the group's support for Oyebamiji arose from their firm conviction that the next governorship candidate under the umbrella of the All Progressives Congress must emerge from the Osun West Senatorial District. He added that for equity, fairness and political balance, the zone should be given the opportunity to present the party's flagbearer for the August 8th, 2026 elections in the state.

The group praised Oyebamiji for his contributions to the economic growth of Osun adding that Oyebamiji's financial intelligence contributed to the state's GDP and IGR growth while he served as commissioner for finance. They noted that Osun would experience a monumental development in Agriculture, Health, Education and other sectors of the economy if Oyebamiji is given the ticket of the state and eventually voted in as Governor in 2026.
