Former Osun State lawmaker and All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain Olatunbosun Oyintiloye has called for unity among all stakeholders involved in canvassing votes for President Bola Tinubu in the state ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Oyintiloye said a coordinated effort is essential to deliver the target of 1.5 million votes for Tinubu from Osun, urging party members, traditional leaders and other supporters to work together.

The appeal comes as political parties across Nigeria intensify grassroots mobilisation in preparation for the presidential poll scheduled for 2027.

President Tinubu, the incumbent seeking re‑election under the APC banner, views Osun State—a southwestern state with a history of competitive elections—as a key constituency for his campaign.

By urging cohesion, Oyintiloye aims to prevent fragmentation within the party and to maximise the APC’s vote‑winning potential as the election draws nearer.
