Omooba Dotun Babayemi, one of the leaders of All Progressives Congress (APC), was on Thursday endorsed for the 2026 party guber ticket by youths in Ayedaade local government area of Osun State.
The youths described Babayemi who had contested for the guber seat in 2022 as the best choice that would change the face of the state for better.
Babayemi, who was received by over 2,000 youths in Gbongan (his hometown), had commenced a statewide consultative meeting with leaders and stakeholders of the party after declaring his intention at APC state secretariat.
Speaking on behalf of the youths, Mr Adekunle Rafiu said their choice of Babayemi was predicated on the fact that he was visionary and service driven.
According to him, “His impact through his contributions to communities in this local government and across the state, are immeasurable. This even becomes more instructive if one considers the fact that he has always been doing these in his private capacity.
“Babayemi has consistently exemplified leadership, vision, and an unwavering commitment to the progress of our community. His policies and initiatives are poised to drive sustainable development, create significant opportunities, and empower the youth”
He noted that Babayemi’s candidature and eventual emergence at the polls as governor, would lead to a remarkable turnaround for the state and its people.
“We, the youths of Ayedaade Local Government, are writing to express our unwavering endorsement for Omooba Dotun Babayemi, a distinguished governorship aspirant, in his pursuit of the All Progressive Congress (APC) nominationq for the upcoming 2026 gubernatorial election in Osun State” he said
- They subsequently appealed to the leaders of the party to make sure the Gbongan-born Prince was chosen to fly the flag of the party in the 2026 gubernatorial election.
