The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Osun State, Bola Oyebamiji, has dismissed claims about Governor Ademola Adeleke’s popularity ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.
Oyebamiji expressed confidence in his chances of winning the election, arguing that voters across the state are ready for a change in leadership.
The APC candidate said the election would provide Osun residents with an opportunity to make a fresh political choice.
His comments come as the campaign enters its final stage, with political parties intensifying their mobilisation efforts across the state.
Oyebamiji is challenging incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke, who is seeking another term under the Accord Party, while ADC candidate Najeem Salaam is also seeking to emerge victorious.
The APC candidate’s campaign has focused on presenting his candidacy as an alternative to the current administration, while Adeleke’s camp has continued to highlight its record in office.
With the August 15 poll approaching, the contest remains closely watched, particularly given the intense exchanges among the leading candidates and parties.
Oyebamiji’s latest remarks signal the APC’s confidence that its campaign has gained sufficient momentum to challenge Adeleke at the ballot.
