Former Osun State deputy governor Iyiola Omisore has announced his intention to contest the 2026 governorship election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The declaration was made on Saturday via his official social media account, and he indicated that his formal announcement will take place on October 7, 2025, at the APC secretariat in Osogbo, the state capital. The event will be themed “Fix the Broken, Restore Our Dreams,” reflecting Omisore’s stated mission to restore hope, strengthen governance, and deliver a brighter future for the people of Osun. He invited the public to join him on this collective journey.
This announcement marks Omisore’s latest bid for the Osun governorship. He previously contested the 2014 election under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before defecting to the APC. Given his long‑standing involvement in Osun politics, his decision to run is significant and positions him as one of the leading aspirants for the APC’s ticket as the 2026 election approaches.
The October 7 formal declaration is expected to attract close attention, as it will signal the official start of Omisore’s campaign. The Osun governorship race is projected to be highly competitive, with several candidates already expressing interest. While Omisore’s experience and familiarity with state politics may give him an edge, he will still face substantial competition from other contenders.
As the election season intensifies, voters in Osun will be watching closely to see how each aspirant presents their vision for the state’s future. Omisore’s campaign theme, “Fix the Broken, Restore Our Dreams,” suggests a focus on addressing the state’s challenges and rebuilding public trust in government. The success of his campaign will depend on his ability to convince the electorate that he possesses the vision and leadership needed to move Osun forward. With the formal declaration imminent, Omisore is poised to embark on a critical journey that will shape both his political future and the future of Osun State.
