The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has reaffirmed its confidence and unity ahead of the August 15, 2026 governorship election, despite recent resignations by some party members. The party insists that these departures will not affect its campaign strategy or chances of victory, maintaining that it remains focused and determined to win the election. In a statement released on Sunday by the APC’s Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi, the party dismissed the resignations as part of a calculated effort to create a false narrative of internal instability. The APC emphasized that its governorship candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, remains undeterred and continues his campaign activities without distraction.
The party acknowledged that political defections and resignations are common during election periods, urging its loyal members and supporters to remain steadfast. “What we are witnessing in the political sphere in the state is not strange and it is peculiar to election seasons,” the statement noted. The APC said it had anticipated such developments and that they have only strengthened the resolve of its remaining members to work harder for electoral success. The party also expressed appreciation for the loyalty of its core supporters, describing them as committed and dedicated to achieving victory.
The APC further stated that it is confident in its candidate’s ability to win the election, asserting that no political alliance or arrangement will prevent it from achieving its goal. The party criticized the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke, accusing it of failing to deliver on key development sectors such as education, healthcare, the economy, and commerce. The APC argued that opponents celebrating the resignations are misguided, pointing out that the party has recently welcomed several prominent political figures from other parties into its fold. This influx, the party believes, demonstrates its growing strength and appeal.
The APC called on all members and supporters to intensify mobilization efforts across Osun State, reinforcing its determination to form the next government. The party remains optimistic that its campaign will resonate with voters and lead to a decisive win on election day. As the 2026 governorship election draws closer, the APC is positioning itself as a united and resilient force, ready to challenge the incumbent administration and deliver on its promises to the people of Osun. The party’s focus remains firmly on securing victory and advancing its agenda for the state’s development.
