Osun 2026: Oyebamiji promises equal development, rejects favouritism

By Ismail Azeez

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the August 15 Osun State election, Bola Oyebamiji, has pledged to run an inclusive government that will ensure equitable distribution of development projects across all local government areas if elected.

Oyebamiji made the promise during the APC campaign rallies in Ibokun and Ijebu-Jesa, held as part of the party’s mobilisation in Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency on Friday.

Addressing supporters, Oyebamiji said his administration would not concentrate government projects in any particular part of the state, stressing that every community would enjoy the dividends of democracy regardless of political affiliation or geographical location.

According to him, “I am very optimistic that with your support I will emerge as the governor of this state on August 15th, 2026. One of my major plans, is to develop Osun State economy using agriculture, where our state has comparative advantage, our plan is to encourage mechanised farming in all agrarian communities to make farming easy, attractive and to increased productive.”

“We will no just improvise agricultural output, we will link agrarian communities to their markets by building roads in rural communities and rehabilitating the existing ones.”

“Like I said during our campaign flag-off in Ile-Ife, I have also assured our traditional rulers in Obokun/Ori-Ade that our administration will not prioritise one local government over the other as the current government is obviously doing.”

“We campaign for vote across all the local government areas and I can assure you by the grace of God we shall return the favour without bias.”

“On our way to this area, we have seen the level of neglect of in public schools, primary health care centers and road infrastructure, if elected governor I will ensure the rehabilitation of schools, PHCs and employ qualify teachers and health workers to expand access to quality health services and education for our children.”

Meanwhile, Oyebamiji during a royal visit to the Ogboni of Ibokun, Oba Festus Adegboro and Egboro of Ijebu-Jesa, Oba Moses Agunsoye as well as other traditional rulers, received blessings with the monarchs praying for the success of his aspiration.
