Four Osun APC executives reject parallel presidential campaign council

A crisis has emerged within the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) regarding the 2027 campaign for President Bola Tinubu. According to Daily Post Nigeria, the state APC has established its own 168-member Presidential and Parliamentary Campaign Council to support Tinubu's re-election and other party candidates. This move follows the inauguration of a 344-member Presidential Campaign Council in Osogbo by Governor Ademola Adeleke, who named himself the coordinator for the campaign in the state.

Daily Post Nigeria reports that state APC chairman Tajudeen Lawal stated the new council was formed to bolster efforts for Tinubu and all APC National and State Assembly candidates. The chairman noted that the party rejected Adeleke's position that he would only work for Tinubu and not for other APC candidates. The new council will feature Bola Oyebamiji as Director-General and Tajudeen Lawal as Deputy Director-General, with members including APC senatorial and House of Representatives candidates, several former deputy governors, and other party chieftains.

Punch Nigeria reports that four executives of the APC in Osun State have rejected the recently released list of the Presidential Campaign Council.
