Ikire Agog As Residents Receive Oyebamiji, Promise Massive Votes For Tinubu’s Re-election

-Tinubu’s second term non-negotiable, says Oyebamiji

Residents of Ikire, headquarters of Irewole Local Government Area of Osun State, on Friday trooped out in large numbers to welcome the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, popularly known as AMBO, to his hometown.

The homecoming, characterised by fanfare, songs and solidarity chants, attracted party leaders, members, supporters and residents who gathered at the popular Naira and Kobo Junction to receive Oyebamiji and his entourage.

The enthusiastic crowd later embarked on a solidarity procession through major streets of the ancient town, expressing support for the APC and pledging massive votes for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election, as well as the party’s candidates in the forthcoming National and State Assembly elections.

The procession moved from Naira and Kobo Junction through Ita-Merin, Abata, Oja Ale at the Palace Square, Popo, Sango and Laakosin before terminating around the Ikire Central Mosque, where Oyebamiji observed the Jumat prayer.

The visit also featured a meeting of APC members and stakeholders at the Irewole Local Government Area, where the party’s governorship candidate commended residents for their loyalty and unwavering support for the APC.

Oyebamiji, who was recently appointed Director-General of the APC Parliamentary Campaign Council in Osun State, reiterated the party’s commitment to securing President Tinubu’s re-election and ensuring victory for its candidates in the forthcoming elections.

Addressing party faithful at the Central Mosque and during the stakeholders’ meeting, Oyebamiji described Tinubu’s return for a second term as non-negotiable, urging members to intensify grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He commended the people of Ikire for their commitment to the party, particularly their contributions to the APC’s performance in previous elections.

“Honestly, this reception is impressive and a genuine demonstration of love for me in particular and our party in general. I am glad to join you today to observe special Jumat prayers and attend the general meeting of our party,” he said.

Oyebamiji expressed appreciation for what he described as the unconditional love, resilience and unwavering support of APC members, saying their commitment demonstrated the party’s determination to secure victory in future elections.

“I must commend our people for their unconditional love, resilience, commitment and undiluted support that culminated in the massive votes our party garnered in the last governorship election.

“This is indeed a testimony to the fact that our party remains resolute in its determination to re-elect our President for a second term,” he added.

The former Osun State Commissioner for Finance urged party members not to relent but to commence door-to-door campaigns and grassroots mobilisation to secure victory for Tinubu and other APC candidates.

“I am here to appreciate all of you. I am happy to see you all and the joy radiating on your faces. You really did well and proved to the whole world that you wanted a governor to emerge from Ikire. I sincerely appreciate you.

“I want to implore you not to relent as we approach the presidential election. Let us vote massively for the return of President Tinubu. We enjoyed the support of the Presidency in all ramifications, and the best way to reciprocate this is to work assiduously for the President’s re-election and the victory of all our party’s candidates in the general elections,” Oyebamiji said.

He also assured residents of his commitment to the security of lives and property, while calling for intensified mobilisation to strengthen the APC’s electoral prospects.
