Former Osun State Deputy Governor and ex-APC National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has become the first aspirant to pick the party’s N50 million Nomination and Expression of Interest forms ahead of the 2026 governorship election.
The development was confirmed on Thursday by the APC Deputy National Organising Secretary, Nze Chidi Duru.
Omisore, who arrived at the APC national secretariat in Abuja with supporters, said his decision to run was driven by “responsibility to rebuild Osun and restore trust in leadership.”
His early entry is seen as a strategic advantage in a field expected to include at least 13 other aspirants. The APC has scheduled its governorship primary for December 13, 2025.
The sale of forms began on November 12, with completed forms and delegate lists due by December 1.
