The New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, says it will hold its primary election, December 13, 2025, where its candidate for the 2026 governorship election will be chosen.
The state chairman of the party, Mr Tosin Odeyemi, made this announcement in a statement on Friday in Osogbo, the state capital, on Friday.
Odeyemi, who said arrangements had been made for a successful primary election, declared that the NNPP would not just participate in the next governorship poll but would work hard to emerge victorious at the election.
Giving other details about the party’s activities ahead of the governorship poll, the NNPP chairman said, “We have not less than four aspirants, and many people are still informing us of their interest in joining us.
“The 2026 gubernatorial election will definitely be a different ball game in Osun, as we are set to spring surprises.”
Speaking further on the NNPP’s chances, Odeyemi said the party “is a new bride in Osun, as it is harvesting from the present crises in the ruling Peoples Democratic Party and the sharp division within the All Progressives Congress due to the allegation of planned imposition of a candidate.
“I am so happy that this gubernatorial election is different in Osun. People are now seeing our party as a third force through which they can strive. As we speak, we have not less than four aspirants, and many people are still informing us of their interest in joining us.
“The 2026 gubernatorial election will definitely be a different ball game in Osun. We are set to spring surprises. We are working underneath, and feelers have made us realise that Osun masses are ready to support whoever emerges as our candidate after the December 13, 2025, primary election,” he said.
