Chieftain demands Osun APC overhaul, seeks chairman’s removal

APC chieftain Jumoke Ogunkeyede in Osun State has called for a complete overhaul of the All Progressives Congress in the state and demanded the removal of its chairman, Tajudeen Lawal.

Ogunkeyede’s demand targets the party’s leadership structure, asserting that a change at the top is necessary for the party’s effective functioning in the state.

The All Progressives Congress is Nigeria’s ruling party, and Osun State, located in the country’s southwest, has been a focal point for intra‑party disputes ahead of upcoming electoral cycles.

Lawal, who currently serves as the state chairman of the APC, has not publicly responded to the chieftain’s call for his removal, and party officials have not issued a statement on the matter.

The demand for an overhaul underscores ongoing tensions within the APC’s state apparatus, reflecting broader challenges the party faces in maintaining cohesion across Nigeria’s diverse political landscape.
