ABUJA, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)-A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Dotun Babayemi, has called on his supporters and party members to remain steadfast in their commitment to securing victory for the party in the August 16 governorship election.
Babayemi said all necessary efforts must be mobilised to ensure the APC’s success. He made the call on Thursday in Osogbo, the state capital, while addressing his supporters under the banner of the Ireti Osun Movement, according to a statement.
He urged party members to maintain consistent support for the APC in Osun in order to guarantee continued electoral success, stressing the supremacy of the party and the obligation of members to respect and abide by its decisions.

“I want to sincerely thank you for your unwavering support for me and our great party, the APC. At this juncture, I appeal to all of us to stay focused, strong, and united. The party is supreme, and its decision is binding on everyone,” Babayemi said.
Speaking earlier, the leader of the Ireti Osun Movement, Gbenga Adebusuyi, said the meeting was organised to address reports suggesting that some members were gravitating towards other political parties.
In response, Babayemi said, “We know how you feel, but flirting with or even defecting to any other political party is not an option. We should remain focused, united, and committed to the ideals of our great party, the APC.”
He further stressed that achieving electoral victory is a collective responsibility, calling on supporters to continue working toward the progress of the APC at both the state and national levels.
“APC is the only vehicle for achieving electoral success for Osun and its people, not only in the forthcoming governorship election but also in the 2027 general elections, particularly for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election. Let’s ensure the party reaches a successful and safe berth,” he said.
