The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has constituted a 110-member Presidential and Parliamentary Campaign Committee and a 58-member Elders’ Council ahead of the 2027 general elections, appointing its 2026 governorship candidate, Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji, as Director-General.
State APC Chairman, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, who announced the appointments in a statement, was named Deputy Director-General, while Engineer Benjamin Adereti and Hon. Kehinde Olamolu were appointed Assistant Directors-General I and II, respectively.
Other prominent members include former Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Timothy Owoeye; Prince Adebayo Adeleke; Alhaji Kamorudeen Alao; Prince Dotun Babayemi; and Hon. Ayo Omidiran.
The three APC senatorial candidates in the state, Adenigba Fadahunsi, Akin Ogunbiyi and Kunle Adegoke, representing Osun East, West and Central Senatorial Districts, respectively, were also named members. Others include Oluwole Oke, Sanya Ominrin, Taiwo Oluga, David Asaolu, Segun Awotunde, Bayo Oyekanmi, Yinka Ajayi, Oladele Adepoju, Tunde Olororo, Amitolu Shittu, Nike Omoworare and Bosun Oyintiloye.
The party also constituted a 58-member Elders’ Council comprising political leaders and stakeholders expected to provide guidance and strategic support for the campaign.
Lawal said the committees were set up to strengthen the efforts of the APC Presidential Campaign Council inaugurated by President Bola Tinubu in Abuja on October 14, 2026, and the Osun State Presidential Campaign Council inaugurated by Governor Ademola Adeleke on October 22.
He said the party had carefully selected its leaders and members in the state to ensure victory for Tinubu and its National and State Assembly candidates in the 2027 elections.
“We are resolute in working in unison with every member of the State Presidential Campaign Council to deliver on our mandate as we muster concerted efforts to ensure victory for all the National and State Assembly candidates of our great party,” Lawal said.
