The momentum behind the Osun 2026 gubernatorial race surged on Friday as leading All Progressives Congress (APC) aspirant, Senator Iyiola Omisore, brought his dynamic #OsunRescueMission campaign to Obokun and Oriade Local Government Areas. The former Deputy Governor and two-term Senator received an overwhelming welcome from jubilant supporters, signalling a groundswell of grassroots support for his bid to restore purposeful leadership to Osun State.
The day’s activities kicked off in Obokun, where hundreds gathered in a celebratory atmosphere to receive Senator Omisore. Clad in vibrant party colours and waving the iconic APC brooms, supporters chanted and danced as the respected statesman took the stage.
Banners reading “Welcome Sen. Iyiola Omisore” filled the venue, while key local leaders, youth groups, market women, and elders pledged their support for the visionary leader. Omisore, holding a symbolic broom, moved through the crowd, engaging with residents and listening to their daily challenges.
By mid-afternoon, the campaign train rolled into Oriade LGA to an even more massive turnout. Crowds lined
the streets, chanting pro-Omisore slogans and waving brooms high in the air as the convoy passed through town centres and community hubs.Senator Omisore again addressed supporters, highlighting his unique blend of technocratic skill and political experience.
“As an engineer, I build. As a leader, I unite. Together, we will transform Osun through sustainable development and transparent governance,” he affirmed.
He also spoke of strengthening party structures and promoting youth and women participation, calling on all citizens to be part of a movement that prioritises people-first leadership.
Omisore’s tour of Obokun and Oriade is part of a broader engagement strategy following his official declaration on 7 October 2025 at the APC Secretariat in Osogbo. Prior campaign stops in Isokan, Irewole, Ayedaade, Orolu, and Irepodun also drew massive crowds, underscoring his appeal across various demographics and zones.
With the 2026 election approaching, the Osun Rescue Mission is rapidly gaining traction, echoing a widespread desire among the people for transformation, integrity, and visionary leadership.
