The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Ajibola Basiru, has announced his withdrawal from the 2026 Osun State governorship election. Basiru made the declaration after consultations with party leaders, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, citing his heavy national responsibilities and the need to consolidate the party's structure ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a statement, Basiru emphasized that strengthening the APC nationwide requires his full attention, and national assignment must take precedence over personal political aspirations. His decision has reshaped early political expectations in Osun State, leaving a vacuum in the APC's governorship race.
Basiru's withdrawal is seen as a strategic move to support President Tinubu's vision and ensure the party's success in the 2027 elections. Some analysts suggest that Basiru's decision may be connected to internal party calculations and the need to maintain stability ahead of crucial political transitions.
