A former deputy governor of Osun State, Iyiola Omisore, has revealed his plans to contest in the 2026 governorship election under the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The announcement was shared on Saturday via his official account on X, stating that he will make his formal declaration on October 7, 2025, at the APC headquarters in Osogbo, the state capital.

“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).

“I believe strongly that together, we can restore hope, strengthen governance, and deliver a brighter future for every son and daughter of Osun. This is not just my mission; it is a collective one.

“I humbly invite you to join me as we take this bold step towards the Osun Rescue Mission 2026,” the statement read in part.

He has previously made multiple attempts to secure the governorship position in Osun State but has not yet succeeded.

Omisore ran in the 2014 governorship election representing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before subsequently switching to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

As the 2026 election approaches, he is expected to be one of the prominent candidates seeking the APC’s governorship nomination.
