Osun APC Campaign Council Visit Owa Adimula, The Paramount Ruler Of Ijesaland, Seek Royal Blessings Ahead of Guber Poll.
The Osun State All Progressives Congress (APC) 2026 Governorship Campaign Council on Monday paid a courtesy visit to the palace of the Owa-Obokun of Ijesaland, Oba Clement Adesuyi Haastrup (Ajimoko III), seeking royal blessings ahead of the forthcoming governorship election.
According to a statement signed by Omolebi-Sunday Segun Tunde, for the Director-General, Osun APC 2026 Governorship Campaign Council, the visit formed part of ongoing consultations and stakeholder engagements in support of the party’s governorship candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO).
The delegation, led by the Director-General, Hon. Oluwole Oke, was received at the palace before proceeding to the Obokungbusi Town Hall, where APC leaders were formally introduced to the monarch.
Oke, while addressing the traditional ruler, said the visit was necessary to secure royal blessings and counsel, noting that traditional institutions remain central to peace, unity and development in the state.
He commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration for ongoing federal projects in Osun, particularly the Ibadan–Ilesa road, describing it as a major infrastructural boost for Ijesaland.
However, he criticised the state government over alleged poor management of resources and what he described as infrastructural decay across key sectors such as education, healthcare, agriculture and rural development.
High Chief Disu Oyedele, the Salotun of Ilesa, praised the monarch’s developmental initiatives and urged greater support for traditional institutions, while Oba Festus Awogboro, the Ogboni of Ibokun, called for accelerated development of Ijesaland.
In his response, Oba Haastrup urged politicians to embrace peace, avoid violence and conduct issue-based campaigns, while praying for the delegation and advising them to prioritise the development of Ijesaland in their political engagements.
The APC campaign council reiterated its commitment to inclusive governance and peaceful political engagement ahead of the 2026 governorship election.
Members of the delegation included Hon. Wole Oke, Aare Adereti Kayode Benjamin, Prince Thomas Ogungbangbe, Sen. Mudashir Hussain, Prof. Siji Olamiju, Hon. Remi Omowaiye, among others.
