A socio-political group, Falex Foundation, has picked a former Commissioner for Finance in the state and current Managing Director, National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Asiwaju Munirudeen Oyebamiji, popularly called AMBO, as its preferred governorship candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2026 governorship election.
The immediate past Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Timothy Owoeye, and former Managing Director, Osun State Investment Company (OSICOL), Dr. Tunde Faleye, appealed to APC leaders in the state to zone the gubernatorial ticket to Osun West Senatorial District, where Oyebamiji hails from.
The APC chieftains spoke at the official launch of AMBO Movement by Falex Foundation, in Ilesa.
Owoeye extolled the leadership qualities of the immediate past Osun Governor and current Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, who he said has been the pillar of support to the progress and success of the party.
He attributed the agitations for the zoning of governorship ticket to Osun West as a clarion call to salvage the state from the shackles of retrogression.
“As we are ready to return to government, it is pivotal to zone our governorship ticket to Osun West senatorial district in the interest of fairness, equity and justice. We all know that Osun Central Senatorial District has done it for 16-year, Osun East has spent eight years and it is the turn of Osun West, and the best choice is Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji. The choice is noble and painstaking.”
