The All Progressives Congress (APC) is currently conducting its primary election for the 2026 governorship race in Osun State, Nigeria. Approximately 1,660 delegates—five representatives from each of the state’s 332 wards—are expected to participate. These delegates are undergoing accreditation at the time of this report.
Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, who chairs the Osun governorship primary, arrived in the state on Friday and met with stakeholders at the party secretariat. A leading contender for the ticket is Bola Oyebamiji, the former Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), who is projected to emerge as the consensus candidate.
Security measures are in place at the primary venue, with a heavy presence of security personnel observed. The APC’s primary is a crucial step in selecting its candidate for the 2026 governorship election, and the process is being closely watched by political observers and analysts. As accreditation continues, the party is working to ensure a smooth and transparent election.
The outcome of the primary will shape the APC’s representation in the upcoming governorship contest and could have significant implications for the party’s chances in the general election. With the election season approaching, the candidate selection process is a critical determinant of Osun State’s governance direction in the coming years, and the results will be closely monitored by stakeholders and the general public.
