Bola Oyebamiji, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Osun State, has expressed confidence that he will be elected governor on August 15. Speaking through his representative, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, at a meeting with the Association of Mobile Telecommunication Engineers of Nigeria in Osogbo on Sunday, Oyebamiji declared that history would be made when he wins the election. He stated, "History will be made on August 15 as I will be elected governor of the state. I am confident and hopeful in God and in you that it will be my day."
Oyebamiji described the upcoming poll as a return to a progressive path for Osun State and pledged to deliver on the dividends of democracy. He outlined plans under a policy agenda called "PROSPER," which focuses on economic security, healthcare, education, and social protection. His administration, he said, would expand social safety nets, reduce poverty, and improve social security for vulnerable groups.
He also pledged to create economic opportunities by supporting small-scale enterprises and expanding large businesses through funding, capacity building, and infrastructure development. Oyebamiji acknowledged the role of telecommunications in business and economic growth, assuring members of the association of support if elected.
Abdulrasaki Ejalonibu, President of the association, affirmed their support and votes, citing encouragement from recognition received during Adegboyega Oyetola's administration. The association urged Oyebamiji to fulfil his promises if elected into office.
Oyebamiji speaks of a new progressive path while relying on the endorsement of engineers who benefited under Oyetola's administration. His promise of PROSPER stands on the same ground he claims to be moving beyond. If voters backed Oyetola's rule, they may see continuity in Oyebamiji, not change. His victory would validate the existing political order, not remake it.
