Osun APC Restructures Campaign Council for Tinubu

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has discontinued its parallel presidential campaign structure and renamed its campaign council to the Osun State All Progressives Congress Parliamentary Campaign Council. This change comes ahead of the August 8, 2027, governorship election.

The council's membership was expanded from 168 to 183 to include all members of the State Executive Committee after protests regarding the initial composition. The new council was unveiled in Osogbo, with Bola Oyebamiji retaining his role as Director-General.

The restructuring followed disagreements within the Osun APC over separate campaign structures for President Tinubu's re-election. The controversy began after the APC Presidential Campaign Council appointed Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party as the state coordinator on October 14, 2026.

Adeleke subsequently formed a 344-member campaign council, leading to protests from some APC executives who felt excluded from the council. They demanded a review of the list, citing inconsistencies with party guidelines and the earlier presidential directive naming Adeleke as coordinator.
