The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC in the 2026 Osun State governorship election, Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji, has called on APC members and supporters to remain calm and peaceful following the outcome of the election.
Asiwaju Oyebamiji in a statement thanked APC leaders, members, supporters, volunteers and voters across the State for their commitment and sacrifices throughout the election campaign.
He acknowledged that the party had hoped for a different outcome in the 2026 Osun governorship election, but said he respected the position of the electoral umpire and fully supported the party’s on-going review of the election result.
The APC candidate expressed appreciation to voters who supported his candidacy and believed in the alternative vision presented by his campaign, saying he would continue to cherish their confidence and support.
He urged APC members and supporters to remain engaged, organised and committed to working for the collective good of the state.
Asiwaju Oyebamiji however raised concerns over what he described as a growing trend of hostility and violence against APC members and supporters following the Osun 2026 governorship election.
He alleged that violent attacks witnessed against APC members during the build-up to the election had taken another dimension within the 24 hours preceding his statement, calling on the Osun State Government, the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies to urgently intervene.
While urging his supporters to remain peaceful and go about their daily activities calmly, Asiwaju Oyebamiji re-affirmed his pride in the campaign and thanked voters, party members, leaders and volunteers for their unwavering commitment.
