Ahead of the 2026 gubernatorial election in Osun State, different groups within the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state have been enjoined to suspend all memos and communiqués regarding the party’s candidacy.
This decision was reached at an Osun West Senatorial District APC stakeholders meeting in Iwo on Friday.
At the meeting, the stakeholders unanimously agreed that former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola has the right of first refusal for the party’s gubernatorial ticket.
The meeting, presided over by the Chairman of the Caucus, Akin Omolaoye, passed a vote of confidence in the party’s leadership at both the national and state levels, emphasizing that the APC will field the best candidate to win the 2026 governorship election in the state.
Omolaoye stated that Oyetola remains the party’s ticket holder unless he decides not to contest.
Reacting to recent tensions among party support groups, where members exchanged words that could lead to division, the party leaders ordered an immediate suspension of releases and communiqués by intra-party groups regarding the 2026 candidacy
