The Imole Campaign Council (TICC), the campaign organisation of Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, has dismissed the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s plan to deploy governors, lawmakers and other political leaders for its campaign ahead of the 15 August governorship election.
The council said the APC’s strategy reflected what it described as an exaggerated assessment of the influence of political office holders in determining the outcome of the poll.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed the Osun governorship election for Saturday, 15 August. The poll is an off-cycle election, separate from the 2027 general elections.
The latest exchange comes as the APC intensifies its preparations for the election, which the ruling party has described as an important test of its political machinery ahead of the 2027 elections.
While inaugurating the APC Campaign Council on Tuesday in Abuja, the APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, said the party would deploy its governors, National Assembly members, local government chairmen and other political figures to help the party secure victory in Osun State.
