Senator Ajibola Basiru, the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has formally withdrawn from the race for the party’s nomination in the 2026 Osun State governorship election.
His withdrawal comes less than three weeks before the APC governorship primary scheduled for December 13, 2025.
Basiru, a former Senate Spokesperson and influential figure within the party, did not immediately disclose his reasons for stepping down, but his exit is expected to reshape the dynamics of the contest as the primary approaches.
His announcement has generated significant reactions within Osun APC circles, with stakeholders assessing how this development may affect zoning arrangements, internal alignments, and the prospects of remaining aspirants.
More details are expected as the party proceeds with preparations for the December 13 primary.
