3,000 Canvassers Deployed as Obokun APC Intensifies Support for Oyebamiji

Oriontimes Poitical Desk| June 5, 2026 Obokun Local Government, under the strategic leadership of the Director-General of the APC Campaign Council, Hon. Oluwole Wole Oke, has once again taken the lead in grassroots political mobilisation with the successful inauguration of no fewer than 3,000 canvassers in support of the candidacy of Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji ahead of the forthcoming election. The landmark event, held in Ibokun, reflects Hon. Wole Oke’s unwavering commitment to building a formidable, structured, and result-driven campaign architecture capable of delivering victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC). As the political arrowhead of the campaign, Hon. Oke has continued to demonstrate exceptional organisational depth and strategic foresight, with Obokun serving as the operational nucleus of the statewide mobilisation effort. The inauguration marks a critical phase in the campaign’s grassroots engagement strategy, as the canvassers carefully selected across all ...

APC May Face Osun West Revolt if Brig. Biodun Bashir Adewinmbi Is Overlooked — Group

 

APC’s failure to give the Osun West Senatorial District ticket to Brigadier General Biodun Bashir Adewinmbi (rtd) would not just be a missed opportunity—it could pose a serious political setback for the party in the district.



Brigadier General Adewinmbi represents a rare blend of credibility, discipline, experience, and grassroots appeal. In a political climate where voters are increasingly demanding integrity, competence, and proven leadership, sidelining such a figure may send the wrong signal to the electorate. It could reinforce narratives of internal injustice, favoritism, or a disconnect between party leadership and the aspirations of the people.


Osun West is not a district to be taken lightly. It requires a candidate who commands respect across communities, understands the dynamics of governance, and can effectively represent the people at the Red Chamber. Adewinmbi’s track record, both in public service and community engagement, positions him as a unifying force capable of consolidating party strength and attracting undecided voters.


Denying him the ticket risks alienating loyal supporters, weakening party cohesion, and opening the door for opposition parties to capitalize on internal dissatisfaction. In politics, perception matters as much as performance; a decision perceived as unjust or politically motivated can have far-reaching consequences at the polls.


If the APC truly aims to retain and strengthen its foothold in Osun West, it must prioritize merit, acceptability, and strategic advantage over narrow interests. Anything short of this could lead to avoidable electoral losses and a gradual erosion of the party’s influence in the district.


The choice before the party is clear: reward credibility and capacity—or risk the consequences of internal disunity and voter backlash.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
