  "account": "A video circulating on social media shows a man wearing an AMBO T-shirt allegedly giving cash to a group of women. The clip gained traction on Thursday as the All Progressives Congress (APC) held a large rally in Osogbo, the state capital, in support of its gubernatorial candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, also known as AMBO. The rally took place just days before the gubernatorial election on August 15, 2026. During the event, Adams Oshiomhole, an Edo North senator, emphasized the APC's commitment to peace and urged voters to use their ballots instead of violence. Oshiomhole stated, \"Let’s be clear, we are a party of peace, which is why we are called progressive. The only ink we need is the black ink for you to put your thumbprint on, not anybody’s blood.\" Another speaker, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, encouraged Oyebamiji to focus on transforming Osun State if elected. Akpabio said, \"You must transform Osun State. As soon as you are elected on Saturday, once you are sworn in, you must begin the progressive movement.\" The video also comes amid heightened political activities and concerns over inducement, intimidation, and violence in the lead-up to the election.",
