Ex-Senator Mudashiru Hussein declares for Osun Governorship race
Former Senator Mudashiru Hussein has formally declared his intention to contest the 2026 Osun governorship election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking at the APC secretariat in Osogbo during a meeting with the party’s State Working Committee, Hussein said his long years in public service have prepared him for the role.
He cited his experience as a federal lawmaker, commissioner, and acting Secretary to the Osun State Government as proof of his readiness.
“In terms of experience, I swear to the Almighty God, I have what it takes to govern this state.
“As a member of the House of Representatives in Lagos State for eight years and a member of the Senate for four years, and having served as a Federal Commissioner and acting Secretary to the State Government in Osun, what else do you want as governor? If it’s experience, I have it,” he stated.
The ex-lawmaker expressed confidence in the APC’s chances, stressing that the party remained strong in Osun.
He pledged to support whoever emerges as the APC candidate if he is not chosen, describing all 12 aspirants as qualified.
In response, APC State Chairman, Tajudeen Lawal, welcomed Hussein’s declaration and urged all aspirants to pursue their ambitions peacefully while working in unity ahead of the polls.
