A video circulating on social media has sparked reactions after a man, reportedly linked to the campaign of Osun State APC governorship candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), was seen sharing money with a group of women ahead of Saturday’s election.
Oyebamiji, popularly known as AMBO, is the APC candidate in the August 15, 2026, Osun governorship election.
In the video, several women are seen seated inside what appears to be a fenced compound. A man wearing a T-shirt with “AMBO” written on it is seen handing out cash to the women.
Another person, whose face is not clearly visible, appears to be holding a book or register. Some viewers alleged that the person was calling out the names of the women before they received the money.
The circumstances surrounding the gathering and the purpose of the cash distribution could not be independently verified from the video.

The footage has generated mixed reactions on social media, with users offering different interpretations of the money distribution.
While some described the incident as alleged vote-buying, others argued that the money could have been provided as welfare or support for people attending a political gathering.

The video comes just one day before the scheduled Osun governorship election, where Oyebamiji is seeking to unseat incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke.
