Oluwole Oke, who is also a five-term member of the House of Representatives for the Ijesa North Federal Constituency, leads the APC's campaign efforts for Mr. Oyebamiji. He has been a prominent figure in the party's push against Governor Adeleke of the Accord Party and other contenders. Earlier in August, Oke had publicly criticized Governor Adeleke, describing his remarks as "reckless, inflammatory and seditious." He specifically rejected Adeleke's call for President Bola Tinubu's intervention in escalating political violence and alleged intimidation tactics preceding the election. Oke also refuted the governor's claims that the federal government was withholding funds meant for Osun State's local government areas.

This strait will only be closed and opened under Iran's command.
