Open Salawu’s Candidacy Will Further Advance Ogbomoso’s Development—Olaniyan

Engineer Olalekan Olaniyan of Ogbomoso South Local Government Area has extended heartfelt congratulations to the Giwa Adinni of Oyo state and Babalaje of Ogbomosoland, Engr. Muftau Open Salawu, FNSE, following his official unveiling as the Allied People’s Movement, APM, Deputy Governorship Candidate for the forthcoming Oyo State governorship election.

In a congratulatory message on Thursday, Olaniyan described the development as a remarkable milestone for Engr. Open Salawu, Ogbomosoland, and Oyo State at large. 

He noted that the emergence of the renowned engineer and community leader reflects years of dedication, competence, integrity, and unwavering commitment to societal progress.

Olaniyan, who has known Engr. Open Salawu since their days at Higher institution in Niger state, said the deputy governorship nominee has consistently demonstrated exemplary leadership. He added that Salawu has remained a source of inspiration through his contributions to community development and human capital advancement.

He further stated that the recognition of Salawu by the APM stakeholders is a testament to his capacity, experience, and vision for a better Oyo State, whilst expressing confidence that his friend would bring valuable insight, innovation, and purposeful leadership to the state’s governance.

Calling on sons and daughters of Ogbomoso to remain focused and united ahead of the 2027 general election, Olaniyan noted that the deputy governorship slot presents a rare opportunity for the Ogbomoso zone. According to him, Open Salawu’s emergence would spur development across the zone, just as it was witnessed during the Akala administration as deputy governor of the state.

He prayed God would crown Salawu and the APM governorship candidate, Hon. Bimbo Adekanmbi, with victory in the forthcoming election.
