Also appointed is the Publisher of online news, Oyoinsight.com, Sikiru Akinola and 14 others.
The Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Media and Publicity Directorate expressed confidence in Alhaji Kehinde Olaosebikan’s media credentials and experience.
Olaosebikan was given notice of the State Committee members approval via a letter dated Tuesday December 13, 2022 and signed by Bayo Onanuga, the PCC, Director of Media and Publicity.

The State Publicity Committee which is charged with the management, in Oyo State, of all media efforts towards the actualization of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s presidential bid, has a pragmatic choice in Olaosebikan as Chairman.
After a meritorious service culminating in being the Regional Editor, Vanguard Newspapers for Northern Nigeria, Olaosebikan served as the Chief Press Secretary to the late Governor Lam Adesina from 1999 to 2003. He introduced a special welfare package christened KO (sobriquet for his initials) on assumption of office in 1999, an allowance still being enjoyed by journalists in Oyo State till date. A seasoned campaign manager, Olaosebikan had served as Director, Media and and Publicity for Presidential Campaign Councils in 2011 and 2015. A two-time former Local Government Chairman and a former gubernatorial aspirant, Olaosebikan is a natural grassroots politician and PR practitioner per excellence. A great lover and follower of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Kehinde Olaosebikan wrote the now famous article ‘What Lam Adesina Told Me about Bola Tinubu and His Ability to Win against All Odds’. An article published last March postulating against the prevailing situation then and asserting that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu would celebrate his 71st birthday as the President Elect, Federal Republic of Nigeria.
