Osun 2026: Why slot should go to West — APC group

The Progressive Frontliners, a group within the All Progressive Congress, has offered reasons why the leadership of the party should zone the governorship ticket to Osun West Senatorial District for the 2026 election.

The group with the APC offered the reason why Osun West Senatorial District must be favoured in the zoning at a news briefing.

At the briefing on Friday in Osogbo, the state capital, Ajijola Ayodeji, the Coordinator of the group, said their call was to address the imbalance in the production of governors in the state and also to gain more party members.

Ayodeji said: “Allocating the party ticket to Osun West this time around would address this imbalance and promote inclusivity.

“It will also empower Osun West to fully participate and lead in the development of our state alongside other districts.

“Again, from an electoral strategy standpoint, zoning to Osun West will invigorate our support base, motivating both the party faithful and local communities.

“This action would demonstrate that the APC values every zone within the state equally, thereby rallying widespread support and enthusiasm, which is crucial for a successful election outcome.”

The TPF Coordinator also said that leaders from Osun West always bring diverse perspectives and ideas that enriches the party’s policies and programmes, fostering innovation and growth.

Ajibola added: “Osun West is home to individuals with strong leadership qualities, integrity, and dedication, who have proven their mettle in various capacities.

“This talent pool is ripe for offering fresh and dynamic leadership that can attract both grassroots support and intellectual capital to our party.”

He said zoning the party ticket to Osun West also aligns with the spirit of the APC’s foundational vision, which emphasises fairness, unity, and national integration.

“It would resonate positively with the broader electorate, showcasing our commitment to balanced development and equal participation across all regions,” he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the group, after the news conference, marched to the APC party secretariat in Osogbo, where they submitted their letter of request.
