Osun 2026 Countdown: Oyebamiji Raises Alarm over Fake Manifesto as Campaign Support Surges
The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), has dismissed as fake a purported manifesto currently in circulation, describing it as the handiwork of political opponents bent on misleading the public.
Oyebamiji spoke while welcoming members of the Ajisope Development Initiatives, led by Alhaji Abdulkabir Okikiola Ajisope, who formally endorsed his candidacy and collapsed their entire political structure into the AMBO campaign ahead of the August 8, 2026 Osun off-cycle governorship election.
According to Oyebamiji, any document or claim being circulated in his name is part of what he described as “dangerous lies and propaganda” orchestrated by the outgoing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)/Accord Party-led administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke and its handlers.
He stressed that neither he nor the APC has released any manifesto, assuring that his programmes would be unveiled at the appropriate time directly to the people of Osun State.
“I use the occasion to call on members of the APC and our supporters across Osun to remain calm and focused. I made it clear that no manifesto has been made public by me or our party. When the time comes, we will unveil our programmes openly and directly to the people of Osun,” Oyebamiji said.
“Any claims or documents currently being circulated are part of the dangerous lies and propaganda of the outgoing government and their handlers. We will not be distracted. We will confront falsehood with truth, organisation and political action, and we are fully prepared to send them packing through the ballot this year,” he added.
Speaking on the endorsement by the Ajisope Development Initiatives, Oyebamiji described the group’s decision to align with the AMBO project as a strong statement of confidence in his leadership and a shared commitment to rescuing Osun State from what he termed maladministration.
He noted that, alongside the Chairman of the APC in Osun State, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, and other party leaders, he received the group as they pledged full support for his candidacy.
Oyebamiji further said the endorsement was particularly significant, given the group’s longstanding focus on promoting and defending the re-election mandate and progressive vision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“The decision of the Ajisope Development Initiatives to align with the AMBO project is a strong statement of belief in our collective mission. This development further strengthens our resolve to build a broader, people-driven political movement anchored on progressive values, credible leadership and purposeful governance for Osun State,” he said.
