The Coalition of Osun APC Interest Groups (COAIG) has accused Senator Ajibola Basiru, the national secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, of resisting the zoning of the 2026 governorship ticket to the Osun West, entangling the party in a zoning dispute.District of Senators.
COAIG claimed in a statement released on Monday by Samuel Iwolode, its Director of Public Engagement and Operations, that those opposing the zoning proposal were acting in Senator Basiru’s best interests.
The group reiterated its unwavering stance on zoning the governorship ticket to Osun West, emphasising that such a move is crucial to ensuring equity and fairness within the party and avoiding a repeat of past electoral setbacks.
COAIG further highlighted that the growing advocacy from various groups in favour of Osun West producing the APC governorship candidate in 2026 aligns with the broader interest of the party.
“The antagonists of Osun West Advocacy should prioritise the interests of the party over the personal ambitions of the APC National Secretary regarding governorship.
“Senator Basiru, who is opposing zoning, is a beneficiary of his current position. He emerged without undergoing an election.”
Reacting to the allegation, Senator Basiru, in a terse message, said, “I don’t respond to faceless groups and unknown individuals.”
