The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State is facing renewed internal tension after Iyiola Omisore dragged the party before the Federal High Court over the conduct of its governorship primaries.
Omisore, a former governorship aspirant on the APC platform, was disqualified from the race alongside several other contenders shortly before the party conducted its primary election.
The disqualification reportedly triggered widespread dissatisfaction within the party’s ranks, with some members describing the move as disruptive to internal democracy in the state chapter of the party.
The legal action has further deepened divisions within the APC in Osun, raising concerns about the party’s cohesion ahead of the next governorship election in the state.
In a move to calm tensions, elders of the party recently paid a visit to Omisore in his hometown of Ile‑Ife in an attempt to reconcile aggrieved members and restore unity within the party.
The reconciliation effort is believed to be linked to the political influence of former Osun governor and current Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, who remains a key leader of the APC in the state.
