A group within the All Progressives Congress (APC), The Progressive Frontliners (TPF), has called on the leadership of the party to zone the 2026 governorship ticket to Osun West Senatorial District.
Speaking at a press conference in Osogbo on Friday, the coordinator of the group, Ajijola Ayodeji, appealed to the leadership of the APC to consider Osun-west for the 2026 governorship election.
“Over the coming months, our members will actively engage with communities across Osun State and tirelessly craft a comprehensive vision for this aspiration. It is evident that the Osun West aspiration will be a reflection of our mutual hopes and a roadmap to put progressives back on the right track.
“It is time for the progressives in their aim to provide opportunities for all, to give Osun-west a special consideration in the spirit of egalitarianism and fairness- being a region that has never been favoured in consideration for this post since its inception.
“The West agenda having started to gain momentum is the only aspiration that if considered can be referred to as being built on a pedestal of the principles of inclusion, equity and fairness.
“From an electoral strategy standpoint, zoning to Osun-west will invigorate our support base, motivating both the party faithful and local communities. This action would demonstrate that the APC values every zone within the state equally, thereby rallying widespread support and enthusiasm, which is crucial for a successful election outcome”
“Zoning to Osun-west also aligns with the spirit of the APC’s foundational vision, which emphasises fairness, unity, and national integration. It would resonate positively with the broader electorate, showcasing our commitment to balanced development and equal participation across all regions,” Ayodeji said.
