Osun 2026: APM fixes December 13 for guber primary

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has fixed its Osun state governorship primary to pick its candidate for December 13, 2025.

The state chairman of the party, Hon. Adewale Adebayo, in a statement on Friday, warned aspirants within the party against a campaign of calumny aimed at each other and urged them to uphold unity.

He said, “We have fixed December 13, 2025, for the primary election of our great party. APM is committed to democratic principles; we promise that the process will be fair to all aspirants contesting for our gubernatorial ticket.”

“Presently, we have six aspirants jostling for our governorship ticket, out of which one of them will emerge as our flag bearer on December 13. We are confident that whoever emerges as our flag bearer will win the gubernatorial seat; we will defeat the incumbent governor because our membership strength is the youth.

“Osun People are tired of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC), even the African Democratic Congress (ADC), whose part of its leadership is former Governor Rauf Aregbesola, have shown that they cannot rescue the state from its present maladministration.

“We want to charge all our aspirants and members not to employ a campaign of calumny or hatred while canvassing for support ahead of the primary election. Our doors are open for willing residents and members who are disgruntled in APC, PDP, and ADC to join our party, so that together we can put Osun State in an enviable position among the comity of states.”

“The party leaders are also enjoyed to woo more youths and elderly into our party, although during the Continuous Voters Registration (CVR), we have registered thousands of new voters, but we must work on others who are not in our party to join the movement,” he ended
