Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, has said the re-election victory of Governor Biodun Oyebanji in Ekiti State in last Saturday’s election underscores the party’s growing strength and bodes well for its chances in the August 15 governorship election in Osun.

Speaking with journalists in Osogbo on Sunday, Oyintiloye said the overwhelming victory recorded by Oyebanji had boosted the morale of APC members across Osun and reinforced confidence that the party is on course to reclaim power in the state.

BusinessDay reports that Osun is currently under the control of the Accord Party, with Ademola Adeleke as governor. Adeleke is seeking re-election in the August 15 election in the state.

Oyintiloye noted that the Ekiti election result demonstrated that voters reward leaders who prioritise good governance, development and people-centred policies.

“The victory in Ekiti is more than an electoral success; it is a clear indication that the APC remains the preferred platform for many Nigerians. We believe Osun voters will make the same choice on August 15.
