Governor Adeleke Inaugurates Campaign Council
• Says Accord will win with wide margin
Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke on Wednesday Inaugurated his campaign council for August 2026 Governor Election in the state.
While inaugurating the campaign council tagged, ‘The Imole Campaign Council’ at Imole House in Osogbo, the Osun State Capital, the Governor noted that Accord will win the election with wide margin.
He added that he is already feeling the cloud of victory around him, his team and his political party, the Accord.
“I am feeling the victory, the defeat of our opponents. This team is heading to victory. My spirit confirms our party, the Accord, is declared winner with wide margins.
“This is how we started in 2022. Today is the march to victory on August 15th. I hereby inaugurate this Campaign Council to the service of continuity and delivery of good governance”, the governor told party members amidst singing and dancing.
In his own address, the Director General of Imole Campaign Council, Senator Lere Oyewumi noted that the council will focus on promoting the achievements of Governor Adeleke and will not join issues with anybody or group who have nothing to sell.
“The only message I have, particularly to our youth and media, we have to recognise that what we did in 2018 and 2022 is different from what we have to do now. Because, God has promoted us from opposition party to a ruling party. The style of campaigning of someone in opposition is quite different from that of somebody who is not only in government but has been doing very very well.
“So, we are going to disappoint a lot of people in town who are thinking we are going to be joining issues with people who have nothing to sell. Our candidate is good and the market is fine. So, what is the problem?
“If we are here in the next one year, we cannot tell Osun people everything that Governor Adeleke has done. What we need to do now is to tell Osun people what they want to hear.
They (Osun people) know our Governor; they (Osun people) know him to be a gentleman; they (Osun people) know him to be law-abiding person who will always be an ambassador of what is right. That is what is endearing him to the people of Osun State. They (Osun people) are ready for this election. They (Osun people) are anxious and prepared as if the election should happen tomorrow. What we need most is to ensure that we organise ourselves”, he noted.
Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party in Osun, Hon Sunday Bisi in his own remarks noted that the Governor had done it before and will do it again adding that, Osun belongs to Governor Adeleke.
He said “We have done this thing before. We did it in 2017 and won; did it in 2018 and won; did it in 2022 and won. So, this time around, we will win.
“We have fought this fight before, and it is not new to us. We are going to repeat it with a very wide margin. They (APC) have nothing to campaign with; they (APC) cannot point to any achievement in this Osun State.
“Osun belongs to Ademola and Ademola belongs to Osun. He has done marvellously well in Osun state that people of Osun state want him. I know that by the time this man finishes eight years, Osun state would have become a small London.”
The event was attended by major stakeholders of PDP and Accord in Osun as well as top government officials in the state.
