In a political development that's setting the stage for an intense battle in Osun State, former Senator Babajide Omoworare has firmly declared his intention to contest the 2026 governorship election, dismissing any suggestions of stepping down for fellow aspirant Iyiola Omisore.
The Unwavering Declaration
Speaking with unwavering determination, Omoworare emphasized that his decision to run for the state's highest office is final and non-negotiable. "I am not stepping down for anybody," the former lawmaker stated categorically, sending clear signals to political observers and opponents alike.
Experience and Qualifications

"My records are there for everyone to see," he asserted, pointing to his track record in public service and his comprehensive understanding of the state's developmental needs.
The Political Landscape
The declaration sets the stage for what promises to be a fiercely contested primary within the All Progressives Congress (APC). With both Omoworare and Omisore being prominent figures in the party, political analysts predict a dramatic showdown that could reshape the party's dynamics in Osun State.

Omoworare outlined his vision for transforming Osun State, emphasizing sustainable development, economic growth, and improved infrastructure. His campaign appears poised to focus on practical solutions to the state's challenges rather than mere political rhetoric.
The Road to 2026
