Nigeria’s Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, has expressed confidence that members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State will secure victory in the 2026 governorship election.
Oyetola, a former governor of the state, made the remarks on Friday while addressing party supporters in Iragbiji.
Speaking during the gathering, the minister said the APC remained determined to reclaim control of the state government, noting that preparations were already underway ahead of the poll.
“We are prepared for the contest ahead. By the grace of God, we will vote and we will win,” Oyetola said.
He urged party members and residents not to be disturbed by recent political developments in the state, assuring them that the party would remain focused on mobilisation efforts.
“There is no cause for alarm. We are confident that with the support of the people, victory will come our way,” he added.
Oyetola also called on Nigerians to support the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, noting that ongoing economic and social reforms by the Federal Government require collective backing from citizens.
According to him, Nigerians should rally behind the leadership at the centre to help achieve national development goals and ensure the success of programmes aimed at strengthening the country’s economy.
The minister further encouraged eligible residents of Osun State to participate in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration exercise conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), describing voter registration as a civic responsibility.
