Senator Husain made the declaration at the Osun State APC Secretariat in Osogbo on Tuesday, in the presence of the State Chairman, Hon. Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, top party officials, local government chairmen, and grassroots stakeholders.
In his address, Senator Husain, who has previously served as:
Two-term House of Representatives member (Oshodi/Isolo Federal Constituency, Lagos)
Senator representing Osun West
Federal Commissioner, National Population Commission
…described his gubernatorial ambition as “a bold step” to not only reposition Osun State for inclusive development but also consolidate APC’s strength ahead of Tinubu’s 2027 reelection.
“My ambition is service-driven and poised to align Osun State to the transformative Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu,” Husain said. “It is in furtherance of the progressive ideals we hold dear as a party.”
He added:
“From my days in Lagos where Asiwaju Bola Tinubu prepared to return me for a third term, to my sanctioned return to Osun where I served as Senator, my journey has been about humility, loyalty, and service. Today, I stand ready to lead Osun with Irọrun De—an all-inclusive agenda that restores dignity, ease, and prosperity to our dear state.”
The Ejigbo-born politician stressed that while all APC aspirants are qualified, his deep experience, unwavering loyalty, and unifying presence make him uniquely suited to lead Osun in this critical period.
He promised a campaign centered on:
- Party unity
- Grassroots engagement
- Development-focused policies
“I am committed to a harmonious, issue-based campaign that brings our party together and makes the APC the people’s choice by 2026,” Husain said.
APC State Chairman Hon. Tajudeen Lawal commended Husain’s declaration, calling it “a bold and resilient step.”
“We encourage you to run a peaceful, issue-driven campaign. Our party is committed to ensuring a level playing ground where the best candidate emerges,” Lawal assured.
Other speakers at the event included:
- Hon. Bade Falade (former Reps member)
- Alh. Hassan Olaniyi (former Chairman, Ejigbo LGA)
They described Husain as “Ejigbo’s golden son,” urging the APC leadership to rally behind him for his integrity, capacity, and proven progressive ideals.
With this declaration, Senator Mudashiru Husain officially joins the race as a frontline contender for the Osun APC ticket, and positions himself as:
- A rallying point for internal party unity
- A tested leader to challenge the PDP
- A strategic pillar for President Tinubu’s 2027 reelection campaign

Panic-stricken Enugu APC begins flag-off of already flagged of roads in Nsukka after PDP’s Chijioke Ugwu’s homecoming
The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, has flagged off the All Progressives Congress campaign in Agege Federal Constituency with a mega rally at Amoo Field, Orile Agege.
The rally, held on Wednesday, September 30, brought together APC leaders, party members, traditional and religious leaders, trade associations, artisans and representatives of different communities in the area.
Obasa, who is the APC candidate for the Agege Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives, urged supporters to take the party’s campaign to homes, markets, artisan groups, places of worship and community associations ahead of the general election.
Addressing the gathering, he said the party should not be satisfied with a narrow victory but should seek to improve on its previous electoral performance.
“Let us join hands and make sure we deliver. It is not just about victory; we must surpass our previous votes. Sound it loud to everybody, all trade associations, artisans, tribes, religious and traditional leaders. We have the numbers, and we will pour it into the APC,” Obasa said.
He called on supporters to mobilise votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC governorship candidate in Lagos, Dr Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, the Lagos West senatorial candidate, Senator Idiat Oluranti Adebule, and himself in the Agege Federal Constituency.
Obasa said the campaign message should reach different sections of the constituency before election day, with supporters expected to engage residents and encourage them to participate in the electoral process.
He also described the turnout at the rally as an indication of support and cohesion within the party in Agege.
“Agege is always one. And we will continue to be one. There is nothing wrong with our party in Agege,” he said, while dismissing opposition voices and rumours about the party’s structure in the area.
The Speaker also urged party members and supporters to avoid conflict during the campaign, stressing that voters should be allowed to choose their preferred representatives.
“We must try to avoid conflict, because at the end of the day, the people will vote for their representatives, the people they truly want. Nobody can force anyone on the people,” he said.
Obasa’s remarks come as political parties intensify grassroots mobilisation ahead of the general election, with Agege remaining an important constituency in Lagos’s political landscape.
