Osogbo, Sept. 2, 2025 (NAN) A United Kingdom-based socio-political group, “AMBO Movement,” has commended President Bola Tinubu for his bold leadership in rebranding Nigeria’s global image.
This is contained in a statement signed by the group’s Chairman, Mayowa Olabisi, and Public Relations Officer, Olawale Mikali, made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Osogbo.
The group said that the President’s recent working visits to Japan and Brazil, among other efforts, had opened new frontiers for bilateral trade, technology transfer and strategic partnerships.
It also said that Tinubu’s decision to remove fuel subsidy and floating of the naira had restored investors’ confidence, and laid the foundation for a more transparent and resilient economy.
According to the group, these reforms are already attracting foreign investments and strengthening Nigeria’s fiscal independence.
“We commend the President’s political courage and economic foresight, which have positioned Nigeria as a serious player in global markets.
“His administration’s commitment to sustainable reforms is a testament to his dedication to national transformation,” it said
On the Osun governorship election, the group said it held a meeting on Aug. 30 in London and appealed to the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to be strategic in the selection of its candidate.
It urged the APC leadership to heed the voice of the people and rally behind a candidate who embodies competence, compassion, and continuity.
The group said it also resolved to support the Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Mr Bola Oyebamiji, who had demonstrated excellence in both private and public sectors.
“After extensive consultations and review of the political landscape, the Movement unanimously calls on the APC to present Oyebamiji as its flag bearer for the Osun 2026 governorship election.
“This call is premised on his proven capacity, widespread popularity, and unmatched financial acumen.
“Oyebamiji’s strategic financial leadership, during his tenure as Osun finance commissioner, led to the clearance of pension backlogs, and restoration of workers’ full salary profiles.
“His tenure also led to the implementation of bond-based payment plans that stabilised the state’s fiscal health.
“We urge the APC leadership to heed the voice of the people and rally behind a candidate who embodies competence, compassion, and continuity.
“The time for strategic selection is now, and Oyebamiji stands as the beacon of hope for Osun’s future,” it said.
The group also said it had resolved to engage in massive grassroots mobilisation through its various structures in Osun.
“We will canvas heavily towards the forthcoming election, and we promise to deliver an additional 10,000 votes for the party in the election.
“We will donate the sum of N25 million as initial support to Oyebamiji’s ambition.
“We also appeal to the President to support Oyebamiji’s governorship bid in Osun,” it said. (NAN)
