Osun State’s All Progressives Congress (APC) says it was given short notice and was not properly informed before the inauguration of President Bola Tinubu’s State Presidential Campaign Committee. The party made the complaint hours before the scheduled event, saying its leaders were excluded from the process and that the announcement came with insufficient briefing.
APC leaders in Osun, according to the reports, frame the issue as one of protocol rather than opposition to Tinubu’s re-election bid. Nigerian Eye and Daily Post Nigeria both cite statements from APC chairman Tajudeen Lawal, while outlining that the campaign committee’s list was publicised close to the event.
Nigerian Eye also adds additional detail, including the reported size of the committee and the inclusion of figures described as coming from outside the APC, which raised further concerns. The other outlets focus more narrowly on the lack of briefing and the timing of the announcement, without extending into the council’s full composition.
