Indigenes of Osun State in the United Kingdom have donated N25 million to support the governorship ambition of the Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji.
The group, under the banner of the AMBO Movement, also declared their endorsement of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections, commending his economic reforms and foreign policy initiatives.
In a communiqué jointly signed by its Chairman, Mayowa Olabisi, and Public Relations Officer, Olawale Mikail, the group urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to field Oyebamiji as its flagbearer in Osun.

They argued that Oyebamiji’s fiscal expertise and leadership record make him a strong choice, recalling that during his tenure as a state official, Osun boosted its internally generated revenue, cleared pension arrears, restored full salary payments, and implemented stabilising economic measures.
“We, AMBO Movement UK announced an initial donation of ₦25 million to Oyebamiji’s campaign and pledged to mobilise at least 10,000 additional votes for him in the 2026 polls if the APC gives him the guber ticket.
“With competence, compassion, and continuity, AMBO represents Osun’s best chance at prosperity.
They added that “We reaffirm our loyalty to Tinubu’s reform agenda. Tinubu’s recent diplomatic engagements in Japan and Brazilhave repositioned Nigeria for stronger bilateral ties, technology transfer, and trade partnerships.”
