A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State led by former governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola endorses APC governorship candidate Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO) ahead of Saturday’s election. Both outlets report that the faction formally adopts Oyebamiji as its preferred candidate.
The sources describe disagreements within PDP as part of the background to the endorsement. Vanguard adds that the faction accuses the incumbent-aligned PDP camp around Governor Ademola Adeleke of excluding stakeholders. The Punch frames the decision around grievances within the PDP, including claims of lack of inclusion, though it emphasizes the adopting of Oyebamiji by the Oyinlola-led group.
While the outlets differ in how they characterize the internal PDP dispute—Vanguard focusing on exclusion of stakeholders—their accounts converge on the same point: Oyinlola’s faction publicly supports the APC candidate for Osun’s upcoming governorship vote.
