Olasunkanmi Backs APC's Oyebamiji for Osun Governorship
On Tuesday, Senator Akinlabi Olasunkanmi, a former senator for Osun West and Minister of Youth Development, declared his support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Oyebamiji, in the upcoming governorship election in Osun State scheduled for August 15. Despite being a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olasunkanmi stated that the PDP is not presenting a candidate for the election.
He and his supporters, who did not join the Accord Party, have chosen to align with Oyebamiji. Olasunkanmi criticized the current administration led by the Adeleke family, alleging that it operates with impunity and has turned governance into a private enterprise.
He recalled his political sacrifices within the PDP, including stepping down for Isiaka Adeleke in 2007 and Ademola Adeleke in 2017. He urged voters in Osun to utilize their voter cards to remove the current administration in the forthcoming election.
