Adeleke's Campaign Role Sparks APC Division in Osun
The post-election conflict in Osun State has intensified between Governor Ademola Adeleke and the All Progressives Congress (APC), potentially affecting President Bola Tinubu's presidential bid. Governor Adeleke was appointed as the state coordinator for Tinubu's campaign, leading to discontent among APC members.
State Chairman Sooko Tajudeen Lawal criticized the national leadership for not consulting the state chapter before this announcement. Concerns were raised that Adeleke might use his new role to undermine APC chieftains, particularly those loyal to Minister Adegboyega Oyetola.
The APC expressed frustration over being kept in the dark regarding the committee's formation, which was announced less than 24 hours before its inauguration. The Osun APC's leadership felt sidelined, as they were unaware of the committee's composition until it was circulated on social media by Adeleke's spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed.
This situation has led to a fresh crisis in Tinubu's 2027 re-election campaign in Osun State.
