The leadership of the South West Agenda (SWAGA) has intensified support for President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Osun State, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), ahead of the 2027 presidential election and the August 15 governorship poll.
Speaking during the launch of SWAGA 2.0 held in Osogbo on Tuesday, the National Chairman of SWAGA, Senator Dayo Adeyeye, appealed to Osun voters to replicate the outcome of the recent Ekiti State governorship election by electing Oyebamiji as governor and vote massively for President Tinubu in 2027.
He said Osun should align with other progressive states to promote good governance and create opportunities for socio-economic development.
Adeyeye also expressed confidence that President Tinubu would secure a second term in office, attributing the optimism to the administration’s reforms in sectors such as finance, agriculture, infrastructure and education.
He said the President would, by the grace of God, win re-election and enjoy overwhelming support across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, adding that the backing of Osun voters would contribute to that victory.
According to him, “Tinubu will win second term by the grace of God. He will also win all the 36 states and Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. Like the second term governor of Ekiti who won all the local governments during the last governorship poll in Ekiti, Tinubu will also win all the states of the federation with your support.
Also speaking, the Osun State Coordinator of SWAGA and Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Mrs. Ayo Omidiran, said the group’s mission in the state was to mobilise support for Oyebamiji ahead of the governorship election.
She said SWAGA had played significant roles in strengthening the progressive family across the country, noting that similar mobilisation efforts contributed to the electoral victories recorded by the APC in Ekiti and Ondo states.
Omidiran described Oyebamiji as a leader known for administrative competence, financial discipline, strategic thinking and commitment to public service, expressing confidence in his ability to provide purposeful leadership for Osun State.
According to her, “Our mission in Osun State is therefore clear. We are here to mobilize support for our distinguished governorship candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), a man widely recognized for administrative competence, financial discipline, strategic thinking, and an unwavering commitment to public service,
Addressing journalist, the Managing Director of the Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Hon. Oyetunde Oladimeji Ojo, said the launch of SWAGA 2.0 was aimed at mobilising support for President Tinubu’s re-election and the election of Oyebamiji as Osun governor.
Ojo said the group was also using the opportunity to highlight the achievements of the Tinubu administration, particularly in road infrastructure and healthcare, stressing that Osun should not be left behind in the ongoing development efforts.
He urged the people of the state to vote for Oyebamiji to ensure collaboration between the Presidency and the state government, maintaining that APC-led administrations would accelerate development.
Representing the APC governorship candidate, former Chief Whip of the Osun State House of Assembly, Hon. Olalekan Olatunji, assured residents that an Oyebamiji administration would provide inclusive governance and ensure that development projects were evenly distributed across all parts of the state.
