The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the August 15, 2026 election in Osun State, Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji, has boasted that he remains the candidate endorsed by President Bola Tinubu for the forthcoming poll.
Oyebamiji made the assertion on Friday during the inauguration of polling unit canvassers in the Ila Federal Constituency.
The APC flagbearer dismissed claims that President Tinubu had thrown his support behind Governor Ademola Adeleke, describing such reports as false and misleading. 
According to him, reports linking the President with the endorsement of the incumbent governor were part of a propaganda campaign designed to confuse voters ahead of the governorship election.
Oyebamiji maintained that he remains the candidate backed by President Tinubu for the August 15 governorship contest and urged residents of the state to disregard contrary claims.
He alleged that those circulating the reports were deliberately attempting to misinform the electorate and create a false impression about the President’s position on the election.
The APC candidate also outlined his vision for governance, promising to uphold the principles of fairness, justice, transparency and accountability if elected governor.
He added that his administration would ensure equitable distribution of resources across all parts of Osun State.
