The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, says he will not contest the 2026 Governorship election in Osun State.

Oyetola, who the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state said reserves the right of first refusal for the party’s ticket, urged interested aspirants to carry party leaders and members along in their consultations ahead of the primaries.

While wishing all aspirants success in their efforts, the minister emphasized the need to prioritize party unity in order to approach the governorship election as a united front.

Adegboyega Oyetola served as Governor of Osun State between 2018 and 2022 but lost his re-election bid to the incumbent, Senator Ademola Adeleke.

Already, several aspirants, including the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria Inland Waterways Authority, Bola Oyebamiji; the National Secretary of the APC, Ajibola Basiru; Dotun Babayemi; Akin Ogunbiyi; and Senator Babajide Omoworare, have notified the party leadership of their intention to contest the governorship primary.

Oyetola ran away to avoid being defeated a second or even third time. Another loss would have sent him into political oblivion, rendering him irrelevant, finished and dead

And you, press9jaTV, your job here should be done. APC isn’t coming back Adeleke had already won before the election even began

Oyetola have spoken, what a great leader and good technocrat. With Oyetola leadership in Osun State APC, be rest assured that treasury looter Adeleke will be massively defeated in August 8th governorship election.

helinues:

WesleyPepper:
You are clearly oblivious of what is at play here .
They’ve traded Osun already . Adeleke would eventually join the APC or be backed by the APC .

Oyetola would continue as a minister and might come back after Adeleke .
It’s crazy

Firebox123:

If they arrest you cos of this they will be blaming tinubu

Ofunaofu:
You guys are even more confused.
A few weeks ago, you were calling him unprintable names because of a rumour that he was going to join the APC
