"Even as we celebrate, let our focus remain steadfast as we strive for victory for our dear party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the upcoming Osun 2026 gubernatorial polls.
"Eid Mubarak to you and your families. May the blessings of the season continue to be with us and our household. Taqqabalallahu Minna wa Minkum", Engr Badmus concluded
