A coalition of All Progressives Congress (APC) interest groups in Osun State has publicly endorsed the call for zoning the party's gubernatorial ticket to the Osun West senatorial district ahead of the 2026 election.
As political parties prepare for activities leading up to the 2026 gubernatorial election in Osun State , another group within the All Progressives Congress, APC , in the state has expressed support for agitations for an Osun West agenda. The Coalition of Osun APC Interests Groups, COAIG, stated on Sunday that these calls emphasize the principles of equal opportunity and fair distribution of leadership roles, which are fundamental to democracy.
In a statement signed by Iwolode Samuel, COAIG Director of Public Engagement and Operation, the group argued that requesting the APC gubernatorial ticket be zoned to Osun West is not just about local pride but also about ensuring justice and equitable development for all parts of the state. Iwolode, while emphasizing the importance of district-level representation, suggested that leadership extends beyond individuals and encompasses the collective potential of a region to contribute to the state's progress and prosperity. He noted that a leader from Osun West could bring fresh perspectives and innovative solutions that reflect the needs and aspirations of this significant part of the state, aligning district-wide developmental goals with broader state objectives. The statement emphasized that, 'At the heart of our agitations lies the principle of equal opportunity and the fair distribution of leadership roles, which is foundational to the spirit of democracy. Osun West Senatorial District has historically been underrepresented in the governorship of the state. Our call for zoning the APC gubernatorial ticket to Osun West is not just a matter of local pride but also rooted in the commitment to justice and equitable development for all parts of the state.
