The former National Secretary of All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Iyiola Omisore, has said he was prevailed upon by stakeholders to contest 2026 Osun guber race and shatter the incumbent ill-governance.
Omisore, during his continuous consultations held at Osogbo and Olorunda local government areas of Osun State on Wednesday, emphasized the need for the party to present a viable candidate to tackle the incumbent in contest in August 8, 2026.
He held that, “If we fail to give a viable aspirant the ticket, we will fail and lose. We must consider an aspirant who had held an elective position to run for 2026 guber race.
“We must not leave the party ticket on the free will of an individual to be the governor, it will be impossible, the governorship of a state must be a collective testimony across the board of stakeholders, all interest groups, voting population of the aspirant must be involved.”
He warned that “Governorship seat should not be given based on friendship, you should not hire your friend for a job he can’t deliver. All of us who are contesting this race, are all brothers.
“I want to charge all of us that on 13th of December 2025, we should troop out to show love to me by choosing me as the candidate of the party for the 2026 guber race.”
The Consultation Coordinator, Hon Ajibola Famurewa, said, “Every local government we have visited, they showed us love and acceptance. I am confident that Senator Omisore will emerge as the flag bearer of APC on December 13th 2025.”
