  • The Osun State All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign council urged residents of Ede, Governor Ademola Adeleke's hometown, to support their candidate.
  • The APC criticized Governor Adeleke's educational qualifications and called for competent leadership.
  • The APC candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, promised good governance, infrastructure improvements, and job creation if elected.

The Osun State All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign council visited Ede, the hometown of Governor Ademola Adeleke, to rally support for their governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji. Led by Director-General Hon. Wole Oke, the team urged residents to vote for a candidate with a strong understanding of governance, contrasting this with what they termed "entertainment."

The APC asserted that their party has gained significant momentum across Osun State, pointing to large turnouts at rallies as evidence of impending victory. The campaign's director-general specifically questioned Governor Adeleke's educational background, suggesting it was insufficient for effective leadership. "Osun deserves competent and visionary leadership," Oke stated, urging voters to choose a governor with a "good educational background."

Don’t vote for a governor who doesn’t comprehend governance. Rather, vote for competence and someone with a good educational background.
