The immediate past Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Hon. Timothy Owoeye has lauded President Bola Tinubu over his decisive leadership.
Owoeye said the recent defection of the governor of Enugu and Bayelsa states to the All Progressives Congress showed the positive impacts of Tinubu’s reform in driving Nigeria’s economy to a greater height.
It would be recalled that Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State defected from the PDP to the APC alongside the members of the State Executive Council on Tuesday.
Barely 24 hours later, another PDP governor, Douye Diri of Bayelsa State, resigned his party membership.
The former lawmaker spoke on Thursday during the consultative visit of Bola Oyebamiji to Ilesa East LGA. Oyebamiji, a gubernatorial aspirant under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, is the Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA)
Owoeye, who commended the two governors for taking the bold step in joining the progressive party, also said the APC will take over Osun State in the August 08, 2026 gubernatorial election from the incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke of the PDP.
He said, “President Bola Tinubu has shown what true leadership is, and it is evident that people have keyed into his Renewed Hope Agenda. His reforms are already yielding positive results, and citizens are now seeing his sincerity.
“I am not surprised that two opposition governors joined the APC this week. The governors know what their states are enjoying under the current administration and desire to do more by bringing their respective states close to the party at the centre.”
“More opposition governors will join the progressive family, and I am sure that by the time we vote in Osun State come 2026, the good people of Osun will join APC by voting out the rudderless regime of PDP.”
