In what appears the start of a new political realignment ahead of 2027 general election, the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ajibola Basiru, weekend, visited the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, describing his re-election and defeat of the APC as painful.

Basiru stated that although ‘election is over’, he maintained that the APC defeat was painful for members of the party, noting that he personally campaigned extensively for Bola Oyebamiji across at least 12 local government areas.

He however, said the election was now a thing of the past and that political actors should focus on the unity and progress of the state.
