The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun is currently studying the results of Saturday's governorship election, as stated by the party's Media and Information Director, Kola Olabisi. In a statement released on Sunday, the party said it would explore all constitutional avenues to determine its next course of action following INEC's declaration of the election results.

APC emphasized that an election cannot be concluded without exploring all constitutionally allowed legal opportunities to correct any anomalies observed, as enshrined in the Electoral Act 2026, as amended. The party commended its members and supporters for their contributions to the state's political history and urged them to remain calm.

The statement also appealed to the Nigeria Police Force to protect APC members and supporters from any unnecessary mistreatment. INEC declared Governor Ademola Adeleke as the winner, receiving 511,067 votes, while Bola Oyebamiji received 444,815 votes. Independent candidate Najeem Salaam came in third with 17,180 votes.
