Note: This is a summary of the reported announcement, not a verbatim quotation. Replace it with the spokesperson’s exact words if the original statement is available.

The planned inauguration places the organisation of Tinubu’s re-election campaign in Osun at the centre of the development. The announced list includes prominent political figures, former lawmakers, party executives and local government representatives.

APC Leaders Expected at the Osun Inauguration

Among the APC figures named in the announcement are former Osun governors Bisi Akande and Adegboyega Oyetola.

Other prominent APC leaders listed include former Senator Iyiola Omisore, Senator Ajibola Basiru, Senator Jide Omoworare, Senator Sola Adeyeye and Alhaji Bola Oyebamiji.

The list also includes Otunba Titilayo Ponnle, Engr. Akintunde Adegboye, Engr. Mumini Olabanji and former Speaker of the House of Representatives Foluke Etteh.

Additional former federal and state lawmakers named in the announcement are Senator Sunday Fajinmi, Senator Mudashir Hussain, Olubunmi Etteh, Adejare Bello, Wale Afolabi and Olatunbosun Oyintiloye.

Members of the APC State Executive Committee, alongside candidates for the National Assembly and Osun State House of Assembly, are also expected to participate in the council’s activities.

Accord and PDP Figures Also Named

The announcement also identifies several political figures associated with Accord and PDP groups who are expected to be represented at the inauguration.

Those listed include Professor Wale Oladipo, Prince Kola Adewusi, Erelu Olusola Obada, Dr. Olu Alabi, Alhaji Kazeem Akinleye, Alhaja Atinuke Oyawoye, Barrister Kolapo Alimi and Reverend Bunmi Jenyo.

Other names in the announcement are Senator Lere Oyewumi, Bamidele Salam, Adewale Morufu Adewale, Clement Akanni, Soji Adetunji, Lukman Mudashiru and Lanre Ladebo.

Accord candidates for the National Assembly are also expected to be represented, together with serving and former members of the Osun State House of Assembly.

The proposed council is presented as a campaign structure intended to bring together political figures from different parties and levels of public office. However, the announcement alone should not be taken as confirmation that every individual named has personally endorsed Tinubu or formally changed party allegiance.

Grassroots Leaders to Form Part of the Structure

Beyond prominent politicians and former lawmakers, the council is expected to include local government chairpersons and grassroots political leaders from across Osun State’s local government areas.

Their participation is intended to give different parts of the state representation within the campaign structure, according to the announcement.

Other political stakeholders named include Pastor Victor Akande, Prince Bola Ajao, Nathaniel Ojetola, Wunmi Otunla, Barrister Ebenezer Bolarinwa and Alhaji Adeyela Adeleke.

The inclusion of local government and grassroots representatives suggests that the planned council is designed to operate beyond the state’s most prominent political figures, with participation expected from different levels of the political structure.

What the Campaign Council Plans to Achieve

The stated objective of the Osun State chapter is to bring together political stakeholders, party executives, elected officials and grassroots representatives in support of Tinubu’s re-election campaign.

The planned inauguration is therefore focused on establishing a campaign structure involving figures associated with the APC, PDP and Accord, as well as political leaders operating at state and local government levels.

The extent of participation will become clearer as the inauguration and subsequent campaign activities proceed. The announcement establishes who is expected to take part, but does not by itself confirm the attendance or individual endorsement of every person named.
