No fewer than 6,000 members of the All Progressives Congress have been deployed to grassroots across 30 local government areas of Osun State to mobilise support for the party.
The members under the auspices of Osun Progressives People’s Forum (OPPF) held a prayer session for President Bola Tinubu and Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola on Friday at Tinubu/Shettima campaign office attended by State Chairman, Tajudeen Lawal and other big wigs of the party.
The coordinator of the group, Remi Abass said” “The reason for the creation of the group is to galvanize the party ahead of the election. We discovered that after we lost the 2022 gubernatorial election, our members were busy apportioning blame but we must raise past that if we want to win subsequent elections.

“We have deployed 6,000 members to our grassroots across the state to canvass for the party and win at least one soul into our fold before the 2026 governorship election.”
The former Speaker of Osun State House of Assembly, Timothy Owoeye said: “In 2026 we are going to unseat PDP as a party and Senator Ademola Adeleke as the governor. We are going to unseat all of them in 2026 and 2027, looking at the level of our preparedness.”
Meanwhile, in his sermon, a Muslim cleric, Uztas Ibrahim Akeusola harped on the need for party members and leaders to unite ahead of the poll.
“You must jettison in-fighting, love your party, and rally support for it. Both members and leaders must work in unison and your journey back to power would be seamless.”
