APC Factions United Behind Tinubu’s Re-election, Oshiomhole Insists.
Oshiomhole, who represents Edo North Senatorial District, described disagreements over campaign appointments, youth leadership positions and the involvement of different political tendencies in the emerging coalition arrangement as distractions, maintaining that the commitment of APC members and allied political groups to Tinubu’s second-term ambition was not in doubt.
The former Edo State governor, who spoke yesterday morning during an interview on Arise Television’s The Morning Show , said the real test of political commitment was not the possession of campaign titles but the ability of party members to mobilise voters at the grassroots.
Addressing concerns over reported disagreements surrounding the APC’s youth leadership and the relationship between the party’s campaign structures and various political groups, Oshiomhole said every committed party member had a responsibility to contribute to Tinubu’s electoral success.
He particularly dismissed the controversy surrounding the party’s youth leadership, arguing that occupying a national position did not automatically confer the responsibility of controlling youth mobilisation across the country.

He said, “I think the issue of Israel (national youth leader) is just a complete distraction. I said, ‘Israel, go and work in your unit.
