APC stakeholders Vow To Defeat Gov Adeleke With Candidate From Osun-West
In an attempt to unseat Governor Ademola Adeleke in 2026, stakeholders in the All Progressives Congress (APC) chapter in Osun State have tasked the party’s leadership with zoning the party’s ticket to the Osun West senatorial district.
The group delivered a letter to the party secretariat, urging the party leadership to guarantee fair power distribution in the state, during a solidarity rally in Osogbo, the state capital.
After the solidarity rally, Obafemi Amoo, the coordinator of the Coalition of Osun APC Interest Groups, or COAIG, told reporters that the party should think about selecting a candidate from the Osun-West senatorial district if it wants to regain control of the state.
He said, “As concerned persons of our great party, we have come out today in our numbers to register our keen interest again to see Osun State return to APC and align yet again with the central government under the mandate of our change maker- President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“And judging from Osun State’s present political climate, we only stand a chance of winning with a candidate from Osun West Senatorial District. Hence, kindly consider our compassionate appeal and passion for this great party. The Progressive Family has enough credible and viable candidates from the West, and we implore that you consider this option in the best interest of our party and Osun State at large.
“It is also important to note that a governor from Osun East Senatorial District has served the state for a period of eight years (8 years) governors from the Central Senatorial District has had an unprecedented opportunity to serve the state for fifteen and half years (8 years of which were progressives’ tenure) in the current political dispensation/republic that started in 1999 while Osun West has never had any opportunity or chance with progressives’ parties”.
