The Caretaker Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Osun State, Hon. Wole Adedoyin, has strongly dismissed the persistent claim that APGA is merely an "Igbo party," labeling the assertion as false, misleading, and a deliberate attempt to misrepresent the party's national identity and political strength, reports ITREALMS.
He acknowledged the party’s strongest visibility in the South East and parts of the South South but emphasized that APGA has established solid structures across all geopolitical zones.
"APGA has won elections in Oyo State in the Southwest, as well as in Taraba, Benue, and Nasarawa States in the North in the past. The party’s popularity in Anambra and the wider South East does not diminish its national identity," he affirmed.
Adedoyin drew a parallel with Nigeria’s political history, noting that regional dominance does not equate to ethnic ownership.
He cited President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s former Action Congress (AC) and later Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), which were once dominant in the Southwest but were never labelled as Yoruba parties, having fielded prominent Igbo and South South candidates. "APGA is no different," he stated.
The Osun APGA Chairman also addressed widespread speculations that Governor Ademola Adeleke might consider APGA as a platform for his re-election bid.

He stressed that while the party welcomes all Nigerians, the core message remains that “APGA is not an ethnic party. It is a national platform open to all Nigerians irrespective of tribe, faith, or location.”
Responding to insinuations of internal crisis, Adedoyin maintained that APGA remains stable, united, and properly structured under the competent leadership of its duly recognized National Chairman, Chief Barr. Sylvester Ezeokenwa.
"There is no legal crisis in APGA. All recent elections, including the by-elections conducted by INEC in Anambra State, were won decisively by APGA. The party is growing stronger under the leadership of His Excellency Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo and Chairman Ezeokenwa,” he said.
Hon. Adedoyin concluded by describing Governor Ademola Adeleke as a "divine blessing to Osun State," and highlighted APGA as the most viable political platform for any leader seeking a credible, people-oriented mandate.
He applauded the Governor's developmental strides across infrastructure, education, workers’ welfare, and social interventions.
"Governor Adeleke has transformed Osun within a short period. His achievements speak for him, and we in APGA commend his exceptional service delivery. He remains a blessing to the people of Osun State,” Adedoyin concluded.
