Osun APC Officials Reject Campaign Council List by Lawal

A fresh crisis has arisen within the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as members of its State Executive Committee rejected the campaign council list announced by state chairman Tajudeen Lawal. The council, led by Bola Oyebamiji, the party's 2026 governorship candidate, was established to drive presidential and parliamentary campaigns in Osun.

Key officials, including Wole Adunola, Rasheed Adeniji, and Abiola Ololade, expressed concerns that the list did not adhere to party rules and excluded several members of the State Working Committee. They emphasized that the exclusion raised issues regarding consultation and respect for the party's leadership structure.

The officials also noted a conflict with President Bola Tinubu's earlier decision to appoint Governor Ademola Adeleke as head of his campaign in Osun, as Adeleke had already inaugurated a campaign council on October 22. The aggrieved officials called for consultations to harmonize the campaign structure while reaffirming their loyalty to President Tinubu.
