President Bola Tinubu received an endorsement from All Progressives Congress members during the party's presidential primary in Osun State on Saturday.
This result solidifies the president's standing within the party as it begins the process of selecting a candidate for the 2027 Nigerian presidential election.
According to election data, Tinubu secured 100,880 votes [1]. The primary was conducted across all 332 wards in Osun State [2].
In contrast, challenger Stanley Osifo received zero votes [1]. The disparity in the totals underscores the level of party cohesion behind the current president in this region.
Prominent party figures, including Adegboyega Oyetola and Bola Oyebamiji, participated in the voting process [2]. Their involvement signaled a unified front among the state's political leadership during the primary exercise.
The All Progressives Congress continues to organize its internal structures to ensure a streamlined nomination process. This regional primary serves as a critical indicator of the president's internal support base as the party looks toward the next national election cycle.
“Tinubu secured 100,880 votes”
The decisive victory in Osun State indicates a lack of significant internal opposition to President Tinubu within the APC's regional strongholds. By securing every single vote in a contested primary, the president demonstrates a level of party discipline and control that may deter future challengers within the party's internal nomination process for 2027.
