The Managing Director/CEO of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) and governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, stormed the hometown of Governor Ademola Adeleke in Ede at the weekend for a loyalty walk organised for him by Hon. Ghaffar Ayodeji Ajani.
Ajani, who noted that the loyalty walk was to further strengthen the campaign machinery for Oyebamiji’s 2026 governorship ambition, explained that the walk was organised with the support of members of the APC in Ede North Local Government Area.
He said the event, which drew a massive turnout, was aimed at mobilising support for Oyebamiji’s candidacy and showcasing the loyalty and dedication of the people of Ede North to the APC and the governorship aspirations of the former finance commissioner.
“The loyalty walk, which started from the party secretariat in Oke Gada, Ede, and traversed major streets of Ede North, was marked by enthusiastic participants carrying placards, flags, and banners bearing Oyebamiji’s name and the logo of the All Progressives Congress.
The event underscores the popularity and wide acceptability of Oyebamiji and the momentum behind his campaign, just as it reinforced the confidence of the people in his ability to lead Osun State to electoral victory in 2026.
Ajani, in his remarks, expressed his delight in organising the loyalty walk, which he said was aimed at demonstrating the unwavering support of the people of Ede North for Oyebamiji’s governorship ambition. He praised Oyebamiji’s track record of leadership and his commitment to the development of Osun State.
“I am gladly impressed with the large turnout of party faithful here today. It reinforces the love the people of Osun have for our great party and Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji. The turnout also reiterates the confidence our people have in the capacity and competence of Oyebamiji to lead our party to electoral success in the guber elections of August 8th, 2026,” Ajani said.
“The AMBO 2026 Loyalty Walk in Ede North Local Government is another milestone in Oyebamiji’s campaign, which has been gaining momentum across the state. With the support of key stakeholders and the masses, Oyebamiji’s bid for the APC flagbearership and, ultimately, the Osun State governorship, is looking increasingly promising.
“As the campaign season heats up, Oyebamiji’s team is optimistic that the Ikire-born seasoned banker and politician will clinch the party’s ticket for next year’s governorship election, hence their reason for intensifying efforts, engaging with voters, and showcasing the candidate’s vision for Osun State.
“The AMBO 2026 Loyalty Walk in Ede North Local Government is a clear indication of the enthusiasm and support for Oyebamiji’s candidacy, and it is expected to galvanise further support for him across the state,” Ajani added.
