The Imole Accord Vanguard (IMAV) has described the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Osun State, Bola Oyebamiji, as a “puppet” of former governor Gboyega Oyetola.
The group said that Oyebamiji’s conduct since his emergence as the candidate of the APC has shown that he would be operating from the shadows of Oyetola if elected in the August 08, 2026, election.
The group stated this in a statement by its Coordinator, Hezekiah Oladele Bamiji, declaring that the job of governing Osun state is too serious to be left for “someone who cannot make decisions on his own”.
The statement said, “Oyebamiji, who was arrogant in nature and couldn’t give honour to a royal stool at Akinlaalu when he visited a while ago, was seen kneeling in front of selected stakeholders of APC in a meeting led by Mr Oyetola recently.
“That raises the curiosity to ask who he will be answerable to for the office he’s seeking? Is it the good people of Osun State who have enjoyed a human-face administration under Governor Ademola Adeleke, or just Oyetola, who is apparently trying to use him to have a second term in office after he was rejected at the polls when he contested himself?
“What is not in doubt to conscious Osun people is that Oyetola and those behind Oyebamiji are only interested in feasting and devouring the resources that Governor Ademola Adeleke has been using for the development of the state?”
“The classic puppet character and lackey attitude being exhibited by Mr Bola Oyebamiji is not what Osun needs or deserves at the moment. The tremendous growth Osun is witnessing under the charismatic leadership of Governor Adeleke will not be disrupted by a puppet who cannot do anything on his own unless teleguided by some vicarious characters who have not wished Osun well with the level of battles they’ve waged against it but only interested in feasting on the common wealth of the people”.
