As political activities gather momentum ahead of the 2026 gubernatorial elections in Osun State, a figure of calm confidence, strategic clarity, and unwavering party loyalty has steadily risen above the noise. Omo Oba Dotun Babayemi (ODB), a tested political actor and bridge-builder, has concluded a statewide consultation tour that reaffirmed his resolve to serve not self, but the state and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
From the Party Secretariat where he began his consultation to every Local Government and Area Council he visited, ODB maintained a tone of unity, discipline, and focus. His message to party faithfuls was simple yet profound: “We must synergize and unify to rescue Osun from administrative decline under Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke. APC must reclaim its rightful place—not for me, but for our people.”
In a political climate often defined by desperation and character attacks, Dotun Babayemi stands as a refreshing anomaly. He has neither engaged in campaigns of calumny nor played divisive politics. Instead, he has addressed real issues—governance decay, policy misalignment, and the urgent need for visionary leadership. His style has endeared him to both the grassroots and party elders alike, marking him as the candidate who leads with principle, not personal ambition.
True to his nature as a complete party man, Dotun Babayemi returned today to the Party Secretariat—not to boast, but to debrief. His commitment to feedback, consensus-building, and transparent leadership was applauded by stakeholders, further cementing his place as the most strategic and suitable aspirant.
At a time when Osun APC needs not just a flagbearer but a compass, Omo Oba Dotun Babayemi represents the perfect fusion of loyalty, experience, and vision. He is a round peg in a round hole, and the man most poised to lead Osun out of the current quagmire into a future of progress and prosperity.
