A prominent member of Penpushing platform, Engr Dideolu Falobi has declared interest to contest the Governorship seat of Osun State in the next political dispensation in the state under the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC).
Penpushing reports that Falobi made the declaration in a notification released out explaining that the decision borne out of his firm conviction that Osun state can, and must, be re-engineered for peace, unity, and sustainable development.
The Managing Director of Lagos based engineering firm, Kresta Laurel added that after deep reflection, extensive consultations and prayerful consideration he decided to offer himself to serve the state
‘After deep reflection, extensive consultations, and prayerful consideration, I have decided to offer myself to serve as the Governor of Osun State in the forthcoming 2026 Gubernatorial Election’, Falobi stated.
‘This decision is borne out of my firm conviction that Osun can, and must, be re-engineered for peace, unity, and sustainable development. For the record, I did not envisage taking a direct step into politics or political governance until recently’, he added.
‘My belief then was that other platforms outside politics would be sufficient to drive the needed change. However, I have come to the realisation that these efforts, though impactful, are not enough’, Falobi stated
‘We must continue to expand the critical mass of well-meaning individuals actively involved in politics — whether through direct participation or strategic support. This realisation has informed my decision’, he stressed.
Penpushing reports the governorship hopeful pointed out that over the years, his professional journey as an engineer, entrepreneur, and community leader has given him a deep understanding of people’s needs, state’s potential, and the urgent reforms required to move Osun state forward.
