The Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority, Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji, has resigned from his position as he intensifies efforts to secure the All Progressives Congress governorship ticket in Osun State.
His departure, confirmed in a statement issued by his media team, signals a strategic move ahead of what is expected to be a fiercely contested race in 2026.
In the statement, Oyebamiji expressed his profound appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and former Osun State Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, acknowledging what he called the invaluable opportunity they provided for him to contribute to national development.
His tenure at NIWA formed part of a broader network of federal appointments that have shaped political alignments within the APC since the party regained influence at the national level.
Oyebamiji’s resignation places him firmly among the early contenders angling to redefine the political landscape in Osun State.
With the governorship election still two years away, his entry into the field is expected to intensify manoeuvring within the party, particularly among aspirants seeking to position themselves as standard-bearers capable of uniting the party’s various blocs.
His move is already being viewed as a significant development that may influence alliances, recalibrate expectations and reshape the dynamics of the evolving race.
