A former lawmaker, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has urged leaders and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) not to be discouraged by the outcome of the governorship election.
Oyintiloye, who represented Obokun Constituency in the Osun State House of Assembly, said in a statement yesterday that the outcome should not be viewed solely from the perspective of victory or defeat, but as an opportunity for the APC to consolidate its gains, strengthen its structures and address areas requiring improvement ahead of future elections.
He urged party members to remain united, disciplined and focused, calling on them to return to the grassroots, listen to the people and build on the momentum generated by the election. He also commended President Bola Tinubu’s intervention and support before and during the election, describing them as a significant demonstration of leadership and commitment to the party’s growth in the state.
Oyintiloye said Tinubu struck a balance between his role as party leader and Head of State, demonstrating the traits of a true democrat without being partisan.
According to him, the president’s intervention gave the APC family in Osun renewed confidence and hope, while energising the party’s various organs and structures across the state.
He described the commitment of the APC’s national leadership to the Osun project as commendable, noting that it contributed significantly to the mobilisation and renewed determination witnessed among party members and supporters during the election.
The APC chieftain also expressed profound appreciation to the immediate past governor of the state and Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, for his steadfastness, encouragement and continued commitment to the progressive family in Osun.
He described Oyetola as a leader whose resilience and belief in the party’s future remained a source of encouragement to members and supporters across the state.
Oyintiloye also commended James Faleke for his inspiring gesture, party organisational experience and capacity for grassroots mobilisation.
“Despite the outcome, we have built a strong political tower that will be difficult for any camp to defeat. What we have built is bigger than one election. We have strengthened our structures, tested our capacity and demonstrated our resilience.
“Our responsibility now is to learn from the outcome, remain united and prepare for the future. Politics is not about winning every election. It is about building enduring structures, maintaining the confidence of the people and remaining prepared for the next opportunity,” he said. ElectionCoverage Updates
