The immediate past deputy governor of Osun State, Benedict Alabi, has urged the All Progressives Congress to give the gubernatorial ticket of the party who believes in the ideology of the progressive.
Alabi who is one of the aspirants eyeing the ticket of the APC for the August 08, 2026, election, said the candidate of the party must be someone who is loyal and committed to the party, and not a traveler who jumps from one party to another.
The former deputy governor who stated this during an interview recently, urged the party leadership to ensure that the person who will fly the APC flag is someone who respects the party structure and has the intellectual capacity and relationship management capacity.
He said, “To get the APC ticket, we need to go back to the attribute of Chief Bisi Akande as a template. He must be somebody who is a party person, loyal and committed to the party, and not a traveler who jumps from one party to another, but somebody who actually believes in the ideology of the progressive.
“The ideology of the progressive is that even when we are losing elections, we hold on to our ideology. It is not by false that we must be in power but it is by force that we must do the right thing. So, we need that person who believes in the ideology of the party.
“We need that person who has the intellectual capacity and relationship management capacity to run the affairs of the government and also ensure party members are happy.
“We need that person who looks after the state and how he can make the state the beacon of hope for the yet unborn and not after himself. He must be somebody who respects the party structure because it is the party that the electorates vote for.”
