Osun APC Forms 168-Member Council for Tinubu's 2027 Campaign

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has established a 168-member campaign council to coordinate support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election and the party’s National and State Assembly candidates in the 2027 general elections. This decision follows disagreements regarding the composition of an earlier presidential campaign council inaugurated by Governor Ademola Adeleke.

Tajudeen Lawal, the Osun APC Chairman, stated that the new council aims to strengthen the party’s campaign structure. Bola Oyebamiji, the party’s governorship candidate, will serve as the Director-General, with Lawal as Deputy Director-General.

Benjamin Adereti and Kehinde Olamolu will be Assistant Director-General 1 and 2, respectively. The council includes the three APC senatorial candidates and nine House of Representatives candidates, along with notable members such as former Speaker Foluke Etteh, four ex-deputy governors, and Femi Fani-Kayode.

The establishment of this council is intended to bolster efforts for a successful campaign leading to the elections.
