APC Must Learn from Osun Defeat for 2027 Elections
Dr. Dayo Israel, the National Youth Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), stated that the party must learn from its defeat in the Osun State governorship election to enhance its strategy for the 2027 general elections. Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party won the election with 511,067 votes, defeating APC candidate Bola Oyebamiji, who received 444,815 votes.
In his statement titled “Osun Has Spoken: The Bitter Truth APC Must Hear Before 2027,” Israel called for honest reflection within the party, addressing internal divisions and improving grassroots mobilization. He commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for respecting the democratic process despite the unfavorable outcome for the APC.
Israel noted Adeleke's grassroots connection and cultural identity as key to his success, alongside the influence of Afrobeats singer David Adeleke (Davido) in mobilizing youth. He urged the APC to empower young communicators and community organizers, stressing the importance of engaging the party’s youth and women wings in campaign planning.
