Osun APC, Oyetola mum as group petitions Tinubu over poll defeat

A group has petitioned President Bola Tinubu, criticising Minister Adegboyega Oyetola for the All Progressives Congress's (APC) recent poll defeat in Osun State. The APC and Oyetola have not commented on the matter.

The petition comes as some APC members look to the future, with a national prayer support group aiming to mobilise two million votes for President Tinubu and other APC candidates in the 2027 elections.

Former presidential aide Bashir Ahmad has expressed optimism that President Tinubu already has the backing of Osun State, citing a recent visit from Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, who won the 2026 election. According to Daily Post Nigeria, Adeleke polled 511,067 votes, defeating Bola Oyebamiji of the APC, who secured 444,815 votes.
