Just In: APC National Scribe, Basiru Quits Osun 2026 Governorship Race

The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ajibola Basiru, has dumped his ambition to contest the 2026 governorship election in Osun State.

Basiru, who had earlier announced his intention to run for the office, stepped down from the race at the commissioning of his political office, Alubarika House, in Osogbo, on Saturday.

He said the decision to dump his ambition was due to instructions from President Bola Tinubu.
