Edo State Governor and Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Primary Election Committee, Monday Okpebholo, has called on party members in Osun State to close ranks and work collectively toward reclaiming the state in the 2026 governorship election.
Okpebholo made the appeal on Friday night during a stakeholders’ meeting held at the APC secretariat in Osogbo, where he reaffirmed the party’s commitment to internal democracy ahead of Saturday’s primary election.
He announced that the party would adopt the affirmation method for the primary, adding that all 1,660 delegates would be properly accredited before being granted access to the venue.
The APC chieftain urged party stakeholders to remain calm and focused, warning that internal divisions after the primary could undermine the party’s chances in the general election.
“I appeal to everyone to remain united after the primary. Do not allow internal grievances to weaken our chances,” Okpebholo said.
“Our collective goal is to return Osun State to the progressive family in 2026, and that can only be achieved if we work together,” he added.
He further assured party members that the primary election would be conducted in a transparent and credible manner, in line with the directives of the APC National Working Committee (NWC).
