In a bold and historic move, Dr. Mulikat Abiola Jimoh, a former Member of the Osun State House of Assembly, has officially obtained her expression of interest and nomination forms to contest in the 2026 Osun State Governorship Election under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Dr. Mulikat, a respected former Lecturer, Philanthropist, and a leading advocate for women’s inclusion in governance, is renowned for her fearless stance against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and other social vices.
Her emergence as the only female aspirant in the race has sparked excitement and high expectations, especially among women and youth across the state, as she brings years of legislative experience, academic excellence, and grassroots advocacy to the fore.
Observers said her entrance into the race could redefine the narrative of leadership and inclusivity in Osun politics.
