As the All Progressives Congress (APC) intensifies preparations ahead of the 2026 governorship election in Osun State, one name continues to resonate with clarity, credibility, and confidence across party structures and communities; Benedict Olugboyega Alabi (BOA), former Deputy Governor of Osun State and a proven financial expert with an enviable record of service, humility, and visionary leadership.
Widely respected for his calm disposition, strategic thinking, commitment to people-centered governance and readiness to listen to everyone, BOA has emerged as the most formidable and broadly acceptable aspirant within the APC family. His aspiration is shaped not by personal ambition alone, but by a sincere desire to restore unity within the party, rebuild trust among citizens, and reposition Osun State for accelerated development.
Having served meritoriously as Deputy Governor, BOA brings an insider’s understanding of governance, policy implementation, and what it takes to deliver impactful outcomes. His experience is combined with a refreshing moral compass, deep grassroots connection, and a reputation for integrity; qualities that make him the ideal standard-bearer for APC at a time when competence, credibility, and electability matter most.
BOA’s blueprint for Osun is bold yet practical. His agenda prioritizes mechanized agriculture for food security, robust healthcare delivery, infrastructural renewal, economic expansion, and opportunities for youth, women, artisans, and small businesses. His development philosophy is built on inclusivity; ensuring every zone of Osun feels the presence of government and enjoys equal access to prosperity.
Within the APC, BOA is regarded as a bridge-builder capable of uniting stakeholders, harmonizing interests, and leading a strong, cohesive campaign capable of reclaiming the state. His message has continued to inspire confidence across wards, local governments, and among key opinion leaders who see in him a reliable, visionary, unifier and electable candidate.
At a time when Osun requires stability, strategic development, and leadership with unquestionable character, BOA stands out unmistakably. His candidacy is a promise of renewal; a shift from politics of division to politics of progress; politics of inclusivity and from recycled promises to measurable results.
The All Progressives Congress has a defining choice to make: a choice that will determine not only the strength of the party going into the 2026 election but the future of millions of Osun citizens seeking purposeful leadership.
Hence, For APC, BOA represents the strongest, most trusted, and most prepared option to lead the party to victory and lead Osun to a new dawn.
Benedict Olugboyega Alabi is not just an aspirant; he is the leader Osun needs and the candidate APC can confidently present to the people.
BOA is ready.
Osun is ready.
APC must now move forward with its best.
