A political defense group, Osun Youth Progressive in the diaspora, has asked Congress of all progressives (APC) to find their 2026 governor ticket to the Senatorial District Osun West, citing equity, equity and political inclusion.
In a statement signed by its coordinator, Tunmise Ajiboye; Deputy Coordinator, Sulaimon Agbola-Aroso; And the secretary, Adeshina Ayomide, the group emphasized that Osun West has been marginalized for a long time in state leadership despite its contributions to the development of governance and the development of the party.
“For too long, Osun West has been marginalized in state leadership, despite its important contributions to the development of governance and party development. Since the creation of the State of Osun, the Government has been largely dominated by the senatorial districts of Osun Central and Osun East, leaving Osun West at a disadvantage. This prolonged marginalization is not only unfair, but also weakens the sense of inclusion that should be the basis of any democratic system, ”reads the statement.
The Group argued that the political landscape in OSun has historically favored the central and oriental senatorial districts, leaving Osun West underrepresented.
Osun Youth Progressive in the diaspora said that zoning the ticket to Osun West would consolidate the support of the party and avoid internal divisions.
“When the party members of all areas receive equity in leadership distribution, they are more likely to remain loyal and work collectively towards victory in the elections,” the statement emphasized.

The statement also requested the interested party of the party, the leaders and the people of the state of OSun to support this movement for a more balanced political panorama.
“It's not just about winning an election; It is about laying the foundations for a more equitable political future. Together, we can build a more inclusive and politically stable OSun state where justice, justice and strategic governance remain in the center of our leadership decisions. “
