2026: Osun West APC says it's ready to produce sole guber candidate if ...

The All Progressives Congress (APC) , Osun West Senatorial District says it has concluded arrangements to produce a sole governorship candidate if former governor Adegboyega Oyetola shelves his intention to run for the 2026 governorship election in the state.

This was part of the communique issued and signed by its chairman, Hon. Omolaoye Akintola after the meeting of the apex leaders and serving party officers held at Prof. Ladipo’s House, Iwo, the headquarters of Iwo local government on Friday.

The Osun West party leaders made passionate appeal to the party leaders in the state to as a matter of maintaining balance, zone the governorship ticket to the district if Oyetola is not running.

The communiqué reads in part, “This meeting agreed that the former governor who doubles as the Party Leader at the State level,  Alh Isiaka Gboyega Oyetola has the right of First Refusal to the 2026 Osun Guber ticket unless and otherwise declared from his end. In case of the latter, Osun West Senatorial District pleads passionately with the party leaders to zone the 2026 guber ticket to us.

“This meeting unanimously agreed and passed a vote of confidence on the  leadership of our Party, APC, at all levels devoid of any form of bias.

“We have resolved to work together in our drive to achieve and sustain a united and committed district towards promotion of our party from the unit level to the national level with the high hope of winning all elections starting from OSUN State Local Government election slated for  February 22, 2025.

“This meeting equally x-rayed and deliberated on the spade at which intra-party interest groups are releasing different  communiques on the OSUN  2026 Gubernatorial race without any recourse to the Party leadership,based on this dangerous trend,we therefore resolved and herein direct a total stoppage of issuance of such until further directive is given.

“That a follow-up meeting which shall capture all former political office holders and stakeholders from this district shall be called in the shortest time possible whilst the three federal constituencies leaders are charged to replicate this meeting.”
