APC Forms New Campaign Council in Osun Amid Controversy

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has established a 168-member presidential and parliamentary campaign council to support Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election and other party candidates. This decision comes shortly after Governor Ademola Adeleke inaugurated the Osun State Presidential Campaign Council for Tinubu, which he coordinates, leading to internal controversy within the APC.

Bola Oyebamiji, the APC governorship candidate for the August 15 election, has been appointed as the Director-General of the new council, with Tajudeen Lawal, the state party chairman, serving as Deputy Director-General. The council aims to enhance the party's chances in the forthcoming elections.

The APC emphasized the importance of this new council to complement existing structures and mobilize votes effectively. The council includes key figures such as Benjamin Adereti and Kehinde Olamolu as Assistant Directors-General, along with three senatorial candidates and nine House of Representatives candidates from the state.
