National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Senator AjibolaBasiru, in this interview speaks on political developments in his home state, Osun and his intention to run for the state’s number one seat come 2026. Yinka Kolawole brings excerpts:
You have indicated interest in contesting the Governorship of your state, Osun, what informed your decision?
I decided to contest the governorship of Osun State because I firmly believe our state is at a crossroad and requires a leader with integrity, expertise, character, ideological strength, vision, and more importantly administrative experience, and this was due to different calls from both within and outside the state who believe in my potentials based on my antecedents to unify the party towards reclaiming the state back to the progressives in the August 2026 election.
