APC Picks Ife-Born Ex-Lawmaker Tunde Olatunji as Oyebamiji’s Running Mate

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has chosen Ife-born former lawmaker, Hon. Tunde Lekan Olatunji, as the running mate to its governorship candidate, Oyebamiji, ahead of the 2026 Osun State governorship election.

Olatunji, who once served as Chief Whip of the Osun State House of Assembly, represented Ife-North State Constituency during his time in office. His nomination is widely seen as a calculated move by the party to solidify its base in the Ife axis while strengthening grassroots support across the state.
