Bola Oyebamiji Announces Candidacy for Osun Governorship

Bola Oyebamiji announced his candidacy for the governorship of Osun State, asserting that the state requires a business-minded leader to enhance its declining fortunes. He highlighted Osun's population of approximately five million and its rich human capital and mineral resources.

Oyebamiji, who has served as Commissioner for Finance under former Governors Rauf Aregbesola and Adegboyega Oyetola, claims to possess the necessary managerial competence and experience to lead the state effectively. He criticized the current administration led by Governor Gboyega Oyetola, stating that the last allocation from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) was about N2.6 billion, while the average monthly allocation is now around N16 billion, with insufficient benefits to citizens.

He seeks support for the upcoming governorship election scheduled for August 15, 2026, emphasizing his extensive experience in government and commitment to delivering value to the people of Osun State.
