Osun Election: APC stakeholders petition Tinubu, blame Oyetola for loss to Accord

The All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders in Osun State have submitted a petition to President Bola Tinubu, blaming the party's loss in the recent governorship election on former Governor Gboyega Oyetola. The petition, signed by Professor Akin Adeyanju and Sola Ajayi, expressed disappointment in the defeat despite President Tinubu's support.

The stakeholders argue that Oyetola's actions, such as appointing friends, allies, and relatives to federal positions and selecting candidates unilaterally, led to the loss. They assert that this exclusion alienated the party's base and resulted in lost support from vital stakeholders and communities across the state. President Tinubu is requested to initiate an independent review of the leadership structure and candidate-selection process in Osun APC, organize a reconciliation meeting, ensure fair federal appointments, and establish a fact-finding committee to assess the primaries' conduct.

The stakeholders also recommend a state congress to form a truly representative Osun APC executive and a reconciliation summit to unite all factions and interest groups.
