A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun state, Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, Sunday dismissed a report alleging that President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, have abandoned the party’s candidate in the August 15 Osun governorship election, Bola Oyebamiji.
He stated this in Ibokun during the campaign tour of communities in Obokun/Oriade federal constituency.
He described the report as false, saying it was the handiwork of desperate opposition elements seeking to create division within the APC.
He said Tinubu and Oyetola remain fully committed to the party’s success in Osun and they are closely monitoring the campaign while providing the political leadership strategic support required for victory.
“President Tinubu and our leader, Oyetola, have never relented in their support for Oyebamiji.
“Anyone suggesting otherwise is spreading falsehood to mislead the public. The APC remains united, focused, and determined to reclaim Osun,” he said.
Oyintiloye further said the party’s leadership at the national and state levels are working hard to deliver Osun for APC, and urged members of the party not to be distracted by propaganda.
He added that prominent party leaders in the state, including Chief Bisi Akande, the national secretary, Sen. Ajibola Basiru, and the state chairman, Mr Tajudeen Lawal are also committed and working round the clock to ensure victory for the party.
