Ogunbiyi’s Remarks Not APC Position, Osun West Youths Question His Loyalty Ahead of 2027

 The Concerned Progressive Youths of Osun West have distanced the All Progressives Congress (APC) from recent comments attributed to Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi, describing the remarks as reckless and inconsistent with the party’s position.



In a statement issued on Saturday, the group called for restraint, unity, and discipline among party stakeholders, warning against actions capable of creating disunity within the APC ahead of the 2027 senatorial elections.

The youths also dismissed as false and misleading claims that the Presidency had invited Governor Ademola Adeleke for any form of political engagement or alignment, describing such reports as deliberate attempts to destabilize the party.

“At no time did the Presidency invite Governor Adeleke. These are concocted stories designed to distract our members and create unnecessary tension within the progressive fold,” the statement read.

Reacting to a viral video allegedly featuring Dr. Ogunbiyi, the group maintained that his comments do not reflect the stance of the APC in Osun State.

“The reckless statement credited to Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi does not in any way represent the position of our great party. Rather, it raises serious concerns about his commitment to the ideals and discipline of the APC,” the group said.

The youths argued that any aspirant seeking to represent Osun West under the APC platform must demonstrate loyalty and act in ways that strengthen, rather than weaken, the party’s chances in future elections.

According to the statement, there were previous moves by Governor Adeleke to join the APC, but such attempts were rejected by party leaders at various levels, including the party’s apex leadership in the state.

The group further emphasized that the immediate focus of the APC remains the forthcoming August 15, 2026 governorship election, urging members to rally behind the party’s candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO).

They noted that recent defections of key political figures into the APC have strengthened the party’s structure and grassroots appeal across Osun State.

Among those cited were two serving senators, three members of the House of Representatives, alongside notable figures such as Omooba Dotun Babayemi, Hon. Kayode Oduoye, and Chief Shuaib Oyedokun.

“These defections reaffirm the confidence of the people in the APC as the only viable platform for progress and good governance,” the group stated.

The youths concluded with a call for unity among party faithful, urging members to remain focused and avoid distractions.

“Victory is within reach if we remain disciplined, united, and committed. We urge all progressives to close ranks and work tirelessly towards delivering Osun State for the APC on August 15,” the statement added.

BREAKING: PDP Bleeds in Oriade: Commissioner Loses 14 Party Leaders to Wole Oke in Home Ward

In a significant political shift, 14 grassroots leaders, including prominent women and youth coordinators from Ward 11, covering Ijeda and Iloko in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State, have resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and pledged allegiance to Hon. Wole Oke’s growing political camp in the All Progressives Congress (APC). The mass resignation, formalized in a jointly signed letter, marks a deepening crack within the PDP structure in Oriade, as key mobilizers abandon the party over what they describe as years of marginalization, poor internal democracy, and a lack of direction. Their defection is also seen as a major boost to Wole Oke’s political momentum within the APC, following his recent and controversial departure from the PDP. “We are grateful for the opportunities and experiences we had as PDP members,” the group stated, “but the party no longer reflects our values or aspirations. We believe in Hon. Wole Oke’s leadership and vision, and we are proud to...

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 ...
