A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Iyiola Omisore, has officially announced his intention to contest the 2026 governorship election under the platform of the APC.
Omisore made the announcement in a post shared on his X handle on Saturday, stating that his formal declaration would take place on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, at the Osun APC Secretariat in Ogo-Oluwa, Osogbo.
Themed “Fix the Broken, Restore Our Dreams,” the event will mark the beginning of Omisore’s campaign to reclaim leadership in the state.
“My beloved people of Osun State, after deep reflection and wide consultations, I have decided to formally declare my intention to contest for the Governor of Osun State in 2026 under our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC),” Omisore wrote.
He added that his campaign would centre on restoring hope, strengthening governance, and delivering a brighter future for Osun residents.
“This is not just my mission, it is a collective one. I humbly invite you to join me as we take this bold step towards the Osun Rescue Mission 2026,” he said.
Omisore, who previously contested the 2014 Osun governorship election under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before joining the APC, is expected to be one of the leading contenders for the party’s governorship ticket.
