The Osun chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lauded the peaceful conduct of its House of Representatives primaries, amidst delays in the announcement of results. This commendation comes at a critical time as the party seeks to maintain unity and focus ahead of the upcoming elections. The primaries, which were held on May 16, 2026, reflect a commitment to democratic processes within the party, a notable shift in a region previously marred by electoral violence.
"While we await the official results, I urge all party members to remain calm and avoid unnecessary speculation," stated Gboyega Oyetola, Chairman of the Osun APC. His call for patience underscores the importance of consolidating party support as they prepare for the general elections.
The peaceful nature of the primaries is a promising sign for the APC, indicating a potential shift toward more orderly electoral practices in the region. As stakeholders await the results, the focus now turns to maintaining cohesion within the party, which is essential for mounting a strong challenge against opposition parties in the forthcoming electoral contests.
