Inaugurates Coordinators at Ward and Unit Levels

Continuing its statewide campaign to rally backing for Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji’s gubernatorial bid in Osun State, the AMBO Grassrooters—an influential political support group—visited Egbedore Local Government. The visit aimed to mobilize community support and officially inaugurate ward and unit coordinators as part of preparations for the 2026 elections.

Bola Oyebamiji, a former Osun State Commissioner for Finance and current Managing Director/CEO of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), is seeking to emerge as the All Progressives Congress (APC) standard-bearer. The AMBO team has been on a statewide tour, previously visiting local governments such as Ila, Isokan, Irewole, Ede South, Irepodun, Orolu, and Olorunda.

Hon. Ogunfolaju, speaking on behalf of the AMBO Grassrooters, expressed gratitude to APC leaders in Egbedore for their warm reception. She emphasized that the group’s dedication to Oyebamiji is rooted in their belief in his vision and his capability to return the APC to power in 2026. She described him as a seasoned financial expert and an inspiring leader with integrity, experience, and a strong commitment to public service.

Hon. Gbolahan Ayegbayo highlighted Oyebamiji’s consistent loyalty to the APC and affirmed that he is a party man whose actions are aligned with the values and directives of the party. He also dismissed speculations about pre-arranged positions, stating that the focus is on unity and merit.

Egbedore LG Chairman, Hon. Issa Akinwale, lauded Oyebamiji for his steady support to the party at both local and state levels. He commended Oyebamiji’s track record of competence, integrity, and leadership. Similarly, Prince Wole Oyebamiji acknowledged Oyebamiji’s role in sustaining the party
