A younger brother of the former national secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Senator Iyiola Omisore, Prince Akinsore Omisore, former Commissioner for Education Hon. Folorunso Oladoyin Bamisayemi (also known as BAMBAM) and Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Lawal Azeez Olayemi, have resigned their membership of the party.
Akinsore resignation in a letter dated June 15, 2026, addressed to the APC Chairman of Moore Ward, Ife East Local Government Area, Ile-Ife.
He said his decision was based on personal convictions after careful consideration, while appreciating the opportunity to have been associated with the party.
“I hereby formally tender my resignation as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) with immediate effect,” he stated.
Akinsore requested that his name be removed from the party’s membership records and formally withdrew from all APC activities.
Meanwhile, Yemi Lawal a former Commissioner for Youth and Sports in Osun State, announced his resignation from the APC in a letter addressed to the party chairman of Ward 8, Isokan Local Government Area.
Lawal said his decision followed consultations with his family, political leaders, associates, and stakeholders, adding that it was also influenced by his personal convictions and future political direction.
“The political persecution suffered by myself, leaders and political followers alike over time has shown clearly that our party lacks the required skill to manage diverse opinions on issues,” he stated.
The resignations come amid ongoing political realignments in Osun State ahead August 15th, 2026 governorship election.
The Rivers State House of Assembly has passed the state’s ₦1.8 trillion 2026 Appropriation Bill.
Daily Voice reports that the bill was unanimously passed by 26 lawmakers during the Assembly’s resumed sitting in Port Harcourt.
Once assented to by Governor Siminalayi Fubara, the budget will provide basis for the state government’s expenditure and implementation of programmes and projects.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has widened its lead over the Accord Party in a fresh results update released by the APC Social Media and Situation Room Team during the ongoing Osun State governorship election.
The update, released at 3:40 p.m., showed below.
According to the update, the figures were compiled from 508 polling units so far.
The latest figures put the APC ahead of Accord by 1,320 votes, representing a notable increase from the earlier margin reported by the party’s situation room.
The figures indicate a closely fought contest between the APC and Accord, with the two leading parties separated by just over 1,000 votes based on the results presented.
The APC Situation Room described the figures as “real-time updates”, suggesting that additional results are still expected from other polling units across the state.
However, the figures have not been independently verified and should not be regarded as the official result of the election.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) remains responsible for the verification, collation and declaration of the final governorship election results.
With results from only 508 polling units reflected in the latest update, the overall outcome remains uncertain, particularly as more results are expected from across Osun’s local government areas.
The narrowing or widening of the margin in subsequent updates could significantly shape expectations about the eventual winner.
Note: The figures reported above are based solely on the APC Social Media and Situation Room Team’s update shown in the supplied image and remain subject to official verification by INEC.
