President Bola Tinubu
The National Organising Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Sulaiman Argungu, has called on Osun State residents to remain patriotic and strategically important to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and must be reclaimed ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He also said the APC would defer to the Elders’ Council in Osun State in determining the direction of the forthcoming governorship primary scheduled for Saturday, December 13, 2025.
Argungu said this when a gubernatorial aspirant in Osun State, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), submitted his Nomination and Expression of Interest forms for the 2026 governorship election at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja.
Oyebamiji, accompanied by a number of state and national leaders, officials, and critical stakeholders, submitted his form at exactly 5:00 p.m.
Argungu, represented by the Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Nze Chidi Duru, said the party was determined to “get it right” in the 2026 election by respecting the wisdom and guidance of the Osun Elders’ Council during the primary.
According to him, “Osun State remained strategically important to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and must be reclaimed ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“Osun is important because it is in the South West and it is also part of the State we want in our fold before the 2027 general election. Also, the president has a special interest in the state. Therefore, we must get it right this time.
“We have elders in the Osun APC, and definitely, if we concede to the elders, we won’t lose the state, and we will get it right as well,” Argungu stated.
He also urged Oyebamiji and his supporters to continue to conduct themselves peacefully as the primary approach.
Speaking earlier, the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Surajudeen Ajibola Bashir, said the party must secure a decisive victory in the 2026 Osun governorship election.
He, therefore, urged party members to remain united before and after the primary election in order to ensure victory for the APC.
