AMBO Praises Wife, Dr Sekinah Bola-Oyebamiji, on Induction as Osun Medical Women’s Association President
The governorship candidate of Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming Osun State election, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (popularly known as AMBO), has showered encomiums on his wife, Dr Sekinah Bola-Oyebamiji, following her induction as President of the Medical Women’s Association of Nigeria (MWAN), Osun State chapter.
According to details obtained by Akahi News, the induction ceremony, held on Thursday, marked a significant milestone in the medical and advocacy career of Dr Bola-Oyebamiji, who has spent more than a decade championing women’s health, particularly the fight against women-related cancers.
“A Round Peg in a Round Hole” — AMBO
In a congratulatory message personally signed by Oyebamiji, the APC chieftain described his wife’s emergence as “a round peg in a round hole,” noting that her appointment was a natural reflection of years of professional excellence, dedication and compassion.
“You are a beacon of medical excellence, a pillar of our family and an inspiration to many,” Oyebamiji said, adding that her induction was both well-deserved and timely, given her long-standing contributions to maternal and reproductive health.
Akahi News gathered that Oyebamiji also expressed gratitude to Almighty Allah for blessing him with what he described as a dependable, honest and selfless partner, whose influence within the home and the medical profession cannot be quantified.
Celebrating Professional Excellence and Family Values
Beyond her professional achievements, Oyebamiji highlighted his wife’s role on the home front, praising her commitment to family life despite the demands of a rigorous medical career.
“Beyond the operating room, she is kindness personified — reliable, courageous and full of life. To our home, she is a devoted wife and a mother-like partner, balancing a demanding career with unwavering love, prayer, resilience and sacrifice,” he stated.
Observers noted that such remarks reflect a broader narrative of women increasingly balancing leadership roles in professional spaces while maintaining strong family foundations — a theme Akahi News has followed closely in recent years.
A Distinguished Medical Career
Dr Sekinah Bola-Oyebamiji’s medical journey began at the University of Ibadan, where she earned her Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degrees. After completing her internship and National Youth Service, she pursued residency training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital.
Driven by a passion for improving maternal and reproductive health outcomes, she later undertook specialist training at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife. She became a Fellow of the West African College of Surgeons, passing all her examinations at the first sitting — an achievement widely regarded as exceptional within medical circles.
In further demonstration of her commitment to excellence, Dr Bola-Oyebamiji also earned the Fellowship of the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria and became a Member of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, London, after completing all required international examinations.
Implications for Women’s Health Advocacy in Osun

As Akahi News learnt, stakeholders within the health sector are optimistic that her experience and professional network will bring renewed energy to the association’s activities, particularly in community outreach and preventive healthcare.
