A popular and leading governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC)in Osun State, Omooba Dotun Babayemi, has explained that all the governorship aspirants currently angling for the ticket of the party at next year’s polls have pledged to work together for the victory of the party.
Babayemi noted that the resolve of the aspirants to work concertedly with a view to defeating the ruling party in the state was gladdening because of the unity being forged in this direction.
He added that it was reassuring that the APC would sail through at the 2026 polls because of the renewed determination of the aspirants and members of the party to ensure that the ruling party in the state was sent packing.
The governorship hopeful, who stated these during the continuation of his statewide ward-to-ward visit to Ede North, South, Olorunda, and Osogbo Local Governments, where it hit the 210th ward, appealed to members of the party not to cause division among the aspirants, a development he warned was capable of affecting its fortunes.
Across the ten wards visited in the four council areas, he stressed that the aspirants currently eyeing the ticket of the party were fourteen, pleading with APC supporters not to cause division among them and members of the party.
‘The important thing is for our party, the APC, to win the forthcoming election. We are 14 individuals currently vying to be picked as the candidate of the APC. However, it’s only one of us that will eventually become the party’s torchbearer for the 2026 governorship election. So, our unity as a family should not be sacrificed on the altar of self-centeredness,’ he said.
Those who spoke at the places visited praised Babayemi’s team spirit, assuring that they would take his advice by ensuring a sustained unity among members of the party.
Among the places touched at Ede North include Ward 7-(Sabo Agbongbe 2), Wards 4- Olusokun, and Ward 5-Alasekere, while in Ede South, he was at Wards 1- Baba Nla Agate and 2-Kuye.
The places visited at Olorunda LG were Ward 9 in Oba-Ile and Ward 10 in Oba Oke, while he touched the following wards in Osogbo LG: Ataoja B, Jagun B, and Otun Jagun A.
