The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Bola Oyebamiji, has expressed confidence that the party will win the election on 8 August.
The APC candidate likened his position in the upcoming 2026 governorship election to playing a penalty shot at a goalpost without a goalkeeper.
He stated this on Sunday in Osogbo during an interactive session with youths from the three senatorial districts.
The Ikire-born politician highlighted the importance of youth participation in elections and pledged to create programmes specifically catering to their needs.
“We conducted a demographic analysis of the 2022 election and found that party members voted 300,000, with youths comprising 210,000 of that number. I respect the youth immensely, and by God’s grace, there will be special programmes for you starting very soon,” he stated
In his metaphorical statement, Oyebamiji said, “God has given us a goalpost and a penalty without a goalkeeper.”
He urged party members to engage in grassroots campaigning, saying, “Let us go to our ward and begin house-to-house, door-to-door. I don’t have a competitor. APC does not have a competitor.”
Oyebamiji assured the youths that his administration would provide them with the resources necessary to succeed.
