Osun APC Disapproves Last-Minute Tinubu Campaign Council

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) expressed discontent over the lack of prior notification regarding the announcement of the State Presidential Campaign Committee for President Bola Tinubu's re-election. This statement was made on Thursday, just hours before the scheduled inauguration of the 344-member campaign council.

The announcement had been made by Olawale Rasheed, the spokesperson for Governor Ademola Adeleke, who planned to inaugurate the council. The list included notable figures such as former Governor Adebisi Akande, Minister Adegboyega Oyetola, and APC National Secretary Ajibola Basiru, among others.

Concerns arose regarding the inclusion of opposition figures in the council, with sources indicating that no formal discussions had occurred between the two camps on managing Tinubu's campaign in Osun. Tajudeen Lawal, the Osun APC chairman, acknowledged the importance of the task ahead but emphasized that the inauguration should have been properly scheduled, as the APC had not been informed of any plans beyond the social media announcement.
