A group within the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Osun State, Coalition of Osun APC Interest Groups (COAIG), has called on the leadership of the party to allow the 2026 governorship ticket to go to Osun-West Senatorial District.
According to the group, selecting a candidate from Osun West would promote a fair distribution of power among the senatorial districts within the state.
Coordinator of the group, Samuel Abioye, at a news conference, stated that it is the will of the party faithful and electorate that the governorship candidate comes from Osun West.
He appealed to former governors Gboyega Oyetola and Pa Bisi Akande to support the zoning of the party ticket to Osun-West, to enable the party emerge victorious at the 2026 poll.
The group thereafter peacefully protested the APC Secretariat in Osogbo, displaying placards calling for the zoning of the next Governorship candidate to Osun West Senatorial District.
They said Osun West had often been overlooked in past political appointments, especially the governorship position, making it vital for the APC to rectify the imbalance and ensure equitable political representation.
