The Osun State chapter of the African Action Congress (AAC) has dismissed a purported list of State Working Committee members circulating in the public domain, describing it as fake and unauthorized. In a statement issued by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Oyefusi Adedamola, the AAC urged the public to disregard the list, noting that it did not emanate from any recognized congress, party organ, or legitimate democratic process.
The party clarified that the only valid leadership is the one elected during its State Congress held on 22 November in Ilesa, which involved broad ward and local‑government representation across the state. The AAC emphasized that the list of elected members from that congress is the sole lawful and validly constituted State Working Committee (SWC) of AAC Osun State.
The official SWC includes Olatunji Joshua of Atakunmosa East as State Chairman. The deputy chairmen are Olaniyan Ridwan (Osun Central), Azeez Wasiu (Osun East) and Faluyi Olufemi (Osun West). Oni Habeeb A. was elected State Secretary, while Raufu Sodiq A. and Oyefusi Adedamola were chosen as Organising Secretary and Publicity Secretary, respectively. Ogunfeyitmi Funke will serve as Treasurer, Ajilore Olusoji as Financial Secretary, and Adeyemi Sunday Ajibade as Auditor. The committee is completed by Ajiboye Opeyemi Mariam as Women Leader and Folorunso Gbenga as Youth Leader.
The AAC advised the public to verify information only through official AAC communication channels and to report any misleading material to the appropriate authorities. The party reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, internal democracy, and building a structure that truly represents the aspirations of its members and the people of Osun State. The dismissal of the fake list and the announcement of the official leadership are significant developments for the Osun State chapter, and the emphasis on transparent, democratic processes is expected to promote stability and cohesion within the organization. As the AAC continues to build its structure and leadership, it is likely to play a more prominent role in the political landscape of Osun State and Nigeria as a whole.
