By: Olayemi Marvellous

The Osun State All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Campaign Council has dismissed reports claiming that the party and its governorship candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), filed a petition challenging the outcome of the August 15, 2026 governorship election.

In a statement issued on Monday and signed by the Head of Media and Publicity of the campaign council, Engr Oluremi Omowaiye, the council described the reports as false and mischievous.

The campaign council categorically stated that neither the APC nor Oyebamiji had filed any petition before the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal challenging the election result.

“The purported claim is therefore completely untrue and should be regarded as nothing more than a rumour being circulated by individuals seeking to mislead members of the public and create unnecessary tension,” the statement said.

The council urged members of the public, APC supporters and the media to disregard the reports and avoid giving credibility to what it described as unverified information capable of causing confusion.

It further reaffirmed the commitment of the APC and its candidate to lawful and democratic processes, stressing that they would continue to act responsibly in the interest of peace, stability and the people of Osun State.

The campaign council also advised the public to rely only on official communications from the APC and its campaign council regarding the party, its candidate and the outcome of the August 15 governorship election.

The statement was signed by Engr Oluremi Omowaiye, Head of Media and Publicity, Osun APC Governorship Campaign Council, on September 7, 2026.
