The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has deployed 10,000 door-to-door canvassers to campaign for President Bola [ Tinubu’s re-election ](https://tribuneonlineng.com/2027-anyone-against- tinubus-re-election-is-nigerias-enemy-oyebanji/) ahead of the 2027 general elections. This grassroots strategy spans all 30 local government areas of the state to propagate the economic policies and achievements of the current federal administration.
Speaking on Friday, Osun State APC Chairman Tajudeen Lawal revealed that preparations have been finalized to officially inaugurate the 10,000 field agents in Osogbo, the state capital. The initiative is heavily backed by prominent party stakeholders, including the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, and the party's 2026 governorship candidate, Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji.
According to Lawal, the campaign aims to bridge the communication gap between the federal government and rural electorates. "We have mobilised about 10,000 members of our party for a door-to-door campaign for President Bola Tinubu to take the good deeds of his administration to the grassroots across the 30 local government areas of Osun State," Lawal stated. He further asserted that current economic reforms spearheaded by the President are restructuring the nation's financial landscape and building a foundation for sustainable wealth.
How is the party structuring its local campaigns?
Beyond presidential mobilisation, the Osun APC leadership confirmed plans to establish a dedicated campaign council to oversee legislative races. This structure will coordinate support for party flagbearers contesting seats in the National Assembly as well as the Osun State House of Assembly. Party structures across wards and local councils will be fully activated to ensure comprehensive electoral success.
What is the stance on Governor Ademola Adeleke's campaign role?
Addressing the emergence of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke as a coordinator for the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) regarding Tinubu’s second-term bid, Lawal noted that the state APC chapter has agreed to collaborate with the governor. While welcoming Adeleke's support for the President, the party leadership called for inclusivity, urging the governor to integrate APC members and leaders into the campaign framework to ensure a unified approach.
In addition to local political alignments, the state chapter acknowledged and commended various stakeholders contributing to the grassroots push, including regional figures like Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, for his backing of the PBAT door-to-door movement. Political analysts view this early and aggressive grassroots mobilization in Osun State as a critical indicator of the intense political maneuvering expected ahead of the 2027 presidential cycle.
