Senator Ajibola Basiru, the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress APC , has withdrawn his candidacy for the 2026 Osun State governorship election.
The announcement was made in Osogbo, the states capital, less than three weeks before the APC primary scheduled for December 13.
Basiru explained that the decision was necessary due to the enormous responsibilities of his current position as the partys National Secretary, following consultations with party leaders, including President Bola Tinubu.
