By RhemDy News 

The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the just-concluded Osun State governorship election, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, popularly called AMBO, has thrown his weight behind the position of his party to review the outcome of the Saturday, August 15, 2026 election won by Governor Ademola Adeleke.

Oyebamiji also commended all party supporters and members for their  steadfastness, commitment, sacrifice, and tireless efforts throughout the governorship election. 

The APC's candidate stated this on Tuesday through a statement he personally signed and released to journalists.

"Your unwavering support for my candidacy and your belief in the prosperity agenda we presented to the people of Osun are experiences I will forever cherish.

"Although, we had hoped for a different outcome in the election, in the meantime, we respect the position of the electoral umpire and I totally support the decision of our party in its ongoing review of the outcome of the election," he said. 

Consequently, Oyebamiji also appreciated many people and voters who believed in, and supported the alternative vision  articulated by his campaign organisation. 

"I am deeply grateful to every voter who placed their trust in our vision, to the volunteers who gave their time and energy, and to you committed party members and leaders across the state who turned out to energize our campaign.

 

"However, the campaign has come to an end and the election is over, but the values and causes we championed are alive. We would continue to work for effective, inclusive and rapid development of our dear Osun," he said. 

He urged those who stood by his party and campaign to keep working for the community, stay engaged, continue to organise and remain vigilant for the collective good of the state.

 

"As events unfold, I urge all of you to remain calm and peaceful as you go about your daily activities in the post-election period," he said.

Reacting to the post-election situation in the State, the APC candidate alerted the State Government and security agents what he called the growing trend of hostility and violence against members and supporters of his party. 

"The violence attacks on our members witnessed in the build-up to the election has taken another dimension in the last 24 hours. Consequently, I urge the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies to intervene and arrest this ugly trend without delay," Oyebamiji charged.
