Omisore Declares Interest in Osun 2026 Governorship Race

Former Deputy Governor of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has officially announced his intention to contest the 2026 governorship election under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Omisore made the announcement on Saturday through a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, revealing that his formal declaration will take place on October 7 at the APC State Secretariat in Osogbo, the state capital.

According to him, the event — themed “Fix the Broken, Restore Our Dreams” — marks the beginning of what he described as the “Osun Rescue Mission 2026.”

In his post, Omisore wrote:

“My beloved people of Osun State, after deep reflection and wide consultations, I have decided to formally declare my intention to contest for the Governor of Osun State in 2026 under our great party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.

This is not just my mission; it is a collective one.

I believe strongly that together, we can restore hope, strengthen governance, and deliver a brighter future for every son and daughter of Osun.”

Omisore’s declaration sets the stage for what promises to be an intense political contest ahead of the 2026 governorship election in Osun State.
