• Oyebamiji inaugurates grassroots mobilisers in Iwo Federal Constituency
Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has received the Managing Director of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji, and blessed his 2026 gubernatorial aspirations.
Oyebamiji, who toured the Iwo Federal Constituency consisting of three local government areas including Ola-Oluwa, Iwo and Ayedire, also inaugurated grassroots campaigners to mobilise new voters into the All Progressives Congress(APC) ahead of next year’s poll.
Speaking at the palace of Oluwo, Oyebamiji said: “I have come here to receive a royal blessing from you. I am on a mission to rescue the state from its present situation. I am capable of taking Osun State to greater heights through the platform of APC. I have been learning Progressives’ way for about 15 years and have over 30 years of experience in private and public sectors.”
“We have done it before when we(APC) governed the state until the present government who are on a mission to wreck our good works but by the grace of God and your support, our flag will fly again.”
He noted that he consulted the leaders of his party in the constituency and received positive responses which will go a long way to see to the victory of APC in the August 8th 2026 guber election.

Oba Akanbi offered prayers and handed Oyebamiji’s aspiration to God.
“I handed over your aspiration to God almighty. He is the one who planned everything and who made all things happen. I pray that God will guide your course.”
Earlier, Oyebamiji was accomplished by bigwigs in APC including former Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Timothy Owoeye; former House of Representatives members and state lawmakers, Bade Falade; Hon. Gafar Amere, Yinusa Amobi and Hon. Lawrence Babatunde Ayeni; Hon. Olasunkanmi Akinola Omotuntun, Hon. Debo Akanbi, Hon. Abiodun Awolola, Hon. Festus Babatunde Komolafe, former commissioners, Prince Adebayo Adeleke, and Sunday Akere, among others.
He harped on decorum, civility and decency in canvassing support among the guber aspirants, saying it is sacrosanct to avoid politics of acrimony and campaign of calumny in all the political engagements.
