Oyetola in a statement on Monday by his Special Adviser on Media, Dr Bolaji Akinola, said party members were strongly behind Oyebamiji, for the Aug. 8, 2026.

He described the party as a united family working with a shared purpose to reclaim the state from what he called “bad governance.”
“The APC in Osun State is fully united and solidly behind our governorship candidate, Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji.
