Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Progressive Governors Forum Chairman Hope Uzodimma, and other state governors convened in Osogbo, the capital of Osun State, for an All Progressives Congress, APC, rally. The event aimed to mobilize support for the party's gubernatorial candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, ahead of the August 15, 2026 election.
Notable attendees included Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo, Kogi State Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and House of Representatives member James Faleke. The rally took place on the final day of the official campaign, as per the INEC deadline set for August 13 following a poll date change from August 8.
The APC hopes to rally party leaders, supporters, coordinators, and members from all 30 local government areas of Osun State. The election pits Oyebamiji against incumbent governor Ademola Adeleke and other candidates. Osun has seen heightened political unrest in recent weeks, with the Accord Party alleging APC interference. However, President Bola Tinubu reversed an EFCC decision to freeze the Osun State Government's account, and the account has since been unfrozen.
