The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State on Saturday organised a campaign walk to mobilise support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in the 2027 presidential election.
The march, tagged “Walk for Victory”, began in the Ayetoro area and ended at the party’s state secretariat in the Ogo-Oluwa area of Osogbo.
Leading the walk, the APC candidate in the 2026 Osun governorship election, Bola Oyebamiji, said the exercise was organised to sensitise residents on the need to support Tinubu’s re-election.
Oyebamiji described the turnout as impressive, saying the large crowd demonstrated the party’s strength and showed that Osun was prepared to support the president’s second term bid.
He said the APC was targeting 1.7 million votes for Tinubu in the state, expressing confidence that the target was achievable based on the turnout.
According to him, the crowd was genuine and not brought in from outside the state.
Oyebamiji, however, disclosed that the APC was working with the Accord Party in Osun to ensure Tinubu’s re-election.
Also speaking, the APC State Chairman, Tajudeen Lawal, commended party members for their participation, expressing confidence that the party would win the presidential election scheduled for January 16, 2027.
Lawal dismissed reports of internal division within the state chapter, insisting that APC members remained united and committed to securing Tinubu’s re-election.
Similarly, Senator Francis Fadahunsi, representing Osun East Senatorial District, pledged that the party would work towards delivering victory for Tinubu in the state.
Fadahunsi expressed optimism that voters would give the president massive support, noting that the march had demonstrated the APC’s political strength in Osogbo.
He also attributed the party’s mobilisation efforts in the state to the leadership of the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola, adding that the event showed the APC remained firmly established in Osun.
