Osun West Crusader, a group within the All Progressives Congress (APC) advocating for the party to zone its gubernatorial ticket to the Osun West Senatorial District should our leader, His Excellency Alhaji Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola, choose not to contest.
After their press briefing, they proceeded to the party secretariat to formally submit their letter and register our collective stance. They categorically stated that our agitation is not driven by personal ambition but by a deep commitment to fairness and equity in our party’s decision-making.
Unlike the individual ambitions emerging from other districts, this movement from Osun West is rooted in a broader vision one that balances communal aspirations with strategic political foresight. It is not about advancing a single individual’s interest but rather a regional call for inclusivity and fairness in governance. The continuous marginalization of Osun West in the state’s leadership structure is a historical imbalance that must be addressed for the sake of unity, stability, and electoral success.
They recognize the competence of individuals from various zones, but this agitation is not just about capability it is about ensuring an equitable political landscape where no single region is perpetually sidelined. By zoning the ticket to Osun West, the APC would reinforce its commitment to fairness, reward loyalty, and strategically position itself for a resounding victory in the 2026 gubernatorial election.
Beyond partisan considerations, their advocacy reflects a fundamental democratic principle: representation should be inclusive and reflective of the entire state. If our party is to remain a beacon of progressive politics, it must set the right precedent one that prioritizes balance, regional inclusivity, and a governance structure that works for all.
Their commitment remains unwavering not just in securing political balance within the APC, but also in shaping a future where every region feels equally valued and empowered. This is not just a call to action; it is a movement for justice, fairness, and a stronger, united Osun State.
