A governorship aspirant in Osun State and the MD/CEO of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Bola Oyebamiji, has promised an inclusive government if allowed to rule the state in 2026.

Speaking in Osogbo, the state capital, yesterday, during the continuation of his consultation tour, Oyebamiji commended the turn out of residents of Osogbo Local Government, Oyebamiji said the reception showed that he was on the right path.

“We are not going to forget Osogbo when we win. Our government will be an inclusive one and Osogbo will play a prominent role.

“Osogbo is a city of commerce and we are going to industrialise the town. We are going to improve the infrastructure in Osogbo. The promise we got here was that Osogbo is going to reverse the 2022 election results,” Oyebamiji said.

‎The Executive Director, Marine and Operations, Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Engr. Olalekan Badmus, called on residents to support Oyebamiji for emergence of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2026 governorship election.

‎Addressing party leaders, supporters and community members at the event, Badmus described Osogbo as the “heart of progressive politics in Osun” and charged party members to uphold unity ahead of the election.

‎Badmus, who traced his political grooming to the leadership of former Osun State governor and current Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, said the APC had demonstrated capacity for development both in Osun and at the national level.

‎He said, “Osogbo is not just the capital of our dear state; it is the capital of loyalty in the progressive family. We must continue to stand by our party and ensure victory for the APC in 2026. Our city has never failed the progressive movement, and we will not start now.

‎“From President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda to the foundation laid in Osun by Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, Nigerians are witnessing a new era of purposeful leadership. My own appointment at the Nigerian Ports Authority is a product of that progressive chain of trust,” Badmus said.
