A governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Omooba Dotun Babayemi, has commenced a meet-the-people-at-the-grassroots tour to the 332 wards in the state to position the party for victory in the 2026 state gubernatorial and the 2027 general elections.
Babayemi, who recently concluded a month-long consultative meeting with leaders and stakeholders of APC in the state after visiting each of the 30 local governments and the Area Office in Modakeke, said that the tempo of awareness already being created within the party should not be lessened.
A statement by his media office, made available to journalists on Thursday, July 10, 2025, disclosed that the ward visit had been flagged off at Iwo, where he covered five wards at Isale Oba 1 and 2, Kidigbo 2, Oke-Adan 2, and Molete 3.
He urged members of the party to ensure the return of President Bola Tinubu in 2027 and to ensure that the party was enthroned in the state.
According to Babayemi, re-electing Tinubu would enable him to bring to bear the vision of transforming the nation through the Renewed Hope Agenda.
He noted that the country’s economy had been battered before the incumbent President took over the reins of power, assuring Nigerians to expect good deliveries in the end.
“We are here because you are dear and important to us. As we all know, the government being run by President Bola Tinubu is anchored on hope. Before Tinubu assumed office, things have been destroyed. These, no magic can repair within two years. Whatever we can do to ensure he returns to complete the good works intended, should be done.
“Those currently ganging up under whatever guise, have nothing to offer. All of them at one time or the other, have been in government before and did little or nothing to alleviate the suffering of the people. They are only pontificating. So, let’s support APC and let this start from our ward level,” Babayemi said.
