The All Progressives Congress (APC) will prioritize community intervention infrastructure and needs assessments if it wins the Osun State governorship [1].
This strategy aims to secure voter support by shifting the focus toward grassroots development and ward-level upgrades ahead of the 2026 election [2].
Ajibola Basiru, the APC National Secretary, said the party's platform centers on addressing specific community requirements. He said that a government led by the party would implement a system to identify and resolve local infrastructure gaps across the region [1].
According to Basiru, the administration would target infrastructure upgrades in all 332 wards within Osun State [3]. This approach is designed to ensure that development is not concentrated in urban centers, but reaches the most remote areas of the state [3].
Bola Oyebamiji is the APC governorship candidate for Osun State [1]. The party is positioning Oyebamiji as the leader capable of executing these community-focused initiatives to improve the quality of life for residents.
Basiru said the focus on needs assessments would allow the government to allocate resources more efficiently. By identifying the specific requirements of each ward, the party intends to create a more responsive governance structure [1].
The APC is currently engaging in consultations to boost its chances in the 2026 contest [4]. These efforts include reaching out to former lawmakers and community leaders to build a broader coalition of support for Oyebamiji's candidacy [4].
“The APC will prioritize community intervention infrastructure and needs assessments.”
By pledging specific upgrades across all 332 wards, the APC is attempting to pivot toward a hyper-local campaign strategy. This move suggests the party recognizes a need to mobilize rural voters and address localized grievances to overcome the incumbent administration's influence in the 2026 election.
