Osun 2026: APC confident of victory – Oyetola

The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy and former Osun State governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, has expressed confidence that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will emerge victorious in the 2026 governorship election in the state.

Oyetola made the declaration on Friday in Iragbiji, Osun State, while addressing party supporters.

He said the APC was already preparing for the contest and remained determined to reclaim power in the state.

“We are prepared for the contest ahead. By the grace of God, we will vote and we will win,” Oyetola said.

The minister urged party members and residents not to be worried by political developments in the state, assuring them that the party would remain focused on mobilisation ahead of the election.

“There is no cause for alarm. We are confident that with the support of the people, victory will come our way,” he added.

Oyetola also called on Nigerians to support the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, noting that the Federal Government’s economic and social reforms require collective backing from citizens.

According to him, such support is necessary to achieve national development goals and ensure the success of programmes aimed at strengthening the country’s economy.

He further encouraged eligible residents of Osun State to participate in the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise being conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), describing voter registration as a civic responsibility.
