Osun PDP Accuses APC, Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO) of Intimidation with ‘Rented Crowd’ Walk of Unity

The Osun State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) and the political group loyal to former Finance Commissioner, Bola Oyebamiji, known as AMBO, who is running to unseat Governor Ademola Adeleke in 2026, of staging what has been described as an intimidating “Walk of Unity” with a rented crowd in Osogbo on Tuesday.

According to several comments from members of the PDP, the event, which saw hundreds, if not thousands, of participants marching through major streets of the state capital, was “nothing more than a political charade designed to create a false impression of popularity and cohesion within the APC.”

The PDP alleged that several of those who participated in the rally were hired from neighbouring towns and paid stipends to swell the crowd, adding that the exercise was aimed at “intimidating the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Governor Ademola Adeleke ahead of 2026.”

“This was not a genuine show of strength but a carefully staged drama to deceive the people,” one PDP member claimed.

However, members of the AMBO media team swiftly dismissed the allegations as baseless, jittery and laughable, insisting that the walk was a voluntary show of solidarity among party faithful and supporters of Bola Oyebamiji’s (AMBO) gubernatorial aspiration.

“No one was forced or paid to attend. The turnout simply reflects the people’s confidence in our renewed movement,” they said.
