Omooba Dotun Babayemi, a governorship hopeful on the crest of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, has pleaded with members of the party across the state to continue to maintain a solid front to ensure its success at the coming election in the state.

Babayemi whose popularity has continued to soar in his bid to get the party’s governorship ticket for the state’s 2026 election, added that the unity and the cohesiveness of the party should not be compromised.

He made the pleas during the continuation of his consultative visit to elders and stakeholders of APC in Ife-South/Ife-East and Area Office, Modakeke.

According to him, the party would triumph if all members could join hands together, admonishing that mudslinging, character assassination, and destruction of any type must be avoided.

“If we are united, our party will have a clean sweep at the polls. Already, we have a strong support base that is giving the ruling party sleepless nights in the state. All we need is to remain focused and united” Babayemi stressed

He said this phase would go, the party, the state, and its people would remain, advising those seeking power at all levels to always be considerate in their pursuits.

Babayemi, who promised to always seek the good of the state, the party, and its members, admonished that the spirit of do-or-die must be done away with.

“In our quest to lead our people at whatever level, we must always do so with moderation because it is only God who enthrones. Nobody can force himself or herself on the people. Leadership should be by natural choice” he added

In their separate responses, leaders and chieftains of the party in the areas commended Babayemi for setting a worthy standard for others to follow, noting that his peaceful disposition to politics and other related things was worthy of emulation.

They assured him of their support, urging the Gbongan-born Prince not to forget their areas if he becomes the candidate and eventually wins the gubernatorial election

The Stakeholders, drawn from across the 30 Local Governments of Osun States, included former and serving State and Local Officers of the APC, former Local Government Chairmen, former political office holders, among others.

The APC stakeholders paid a courtesy visit to the State Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) under the Chairmanship of Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, at the APC Secretariat in Osogbo, on Monday 19th May, 2025.

While addressing members of the State Executive Committee, the spokesperson of the delegation, Hon. Adeniran Ibitoye (KLM), stated that they had carefully perused the credentials and acceptability of the persons who have shown interest in picking the ticket of the APC for the upcoming Governorship election, and found Babayemi to have the best combination of competence and acceptability.

He said, “eminently qualified members of our great party have shown interest in the party’s ticket and we are proud of the quality of human resource that Osun APC possesses. However, we have realized through consultations with party members at the grassroots, that Omo-Oba Babayemi has the best blend of competence and acceptability across the State.”

“We believe that our party must put its best foot forward in the 2026 election so that we can get a smooth sail. We are therefore presenting Dotun Babayemi to you, our leaders, for your blessings, as we commence statewide consultation.”

While responding, the State Chairman of the Party, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal welcomed the delegation, expressing his joy at the calibre of aspirants vying for the APC ticket, while warning against all utterances that may malign other aspirants.

In his remarks, Dotun Babayemi informed the gathering that he is proud of the quality of aspirants that the APC is parading, and though he believes he is the best option, he is committed to supporting anyone the party eventually chooses to fly its flag.

Babayemi, a Prince of Gbongan in Osun State, joins a list of Osun APC stalwarts who have declared intention to pick the party’s Governorship ticket, including the National Secretary of the Party, Sen. Ajibola Basiru, and the Managing Director of the Nigerian Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Alh. Bola Oyebamiji.
