Bola Oyebamiji, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for Osun State, plans to prioritize community-intervention infrastructure upgrades across the region [1].
This commitment targets the grassroots level of governance to ensure that development projects reach the smallest administrative units of the state. By focusing on community-specific needs, the campaign aims to address long-standing deficits in local public works.
Senator Basiru Ajibola, the National Secretary of the APC, said that the administration of Oyebamiji will focus on these upgrades to promote development [1]. He said that the strategy involves identifying the specific needs of local populations to ensure that government spending translates into tangible improvements for residents.
The proposed plan covers all 332 wards in Osun State [1]. This comprehensive approach is intended to prevent the concentration of resources in only the major urban centers, a common criticism of previous regional administrations.
Ajibola said the goal is to foster a system where community needs drive the agenda for infrastructure development [1]. The APC believes that targeting all 332 wards [1] will create a more equitable distribution of state resources, and improve the quality of life for citizens regardless of their location.
The campaign has framed these infrastructure priorities as a core pillar of Oyebamiji's platform. By emphasizing the ward-level intervention, the party seeks to build a coalition of support based on the promise of localized economic and social growth [1].
“Community infrastructure will get priority under Oyebamiji”
The APC's focus on ward-level infrastructure suggests a strategic shift toward grassroots mobilization in Osun State. By promising interventions in all 332 wards, the party is attempting to neutralize the advantage of opponents who may rely on large-scale, centralized projects, instead betting that hyper-local development will secure a broader electoral mandate.
