Election 2026: Osun State Governor Adeleke Accept Accord Party Governorship Candidacy

The sitting governor of Osun State Ademola Adeleke in a post on Wednesday revealed that he has accepted to run his second term political campaign under the Accord Party umbrella for 2026 gubernatorial election.

“I humbly accepted my nomination as the Governorship Candidate for the 2026 elections. I deeply appreciate our party leadership and the delegates for the trust you have placed in me. I do not take this honour for granted.

“Our victory today marks the beginning of a renewed battle for continuity of progress, good governance and real democratic dividends. For three years, we have proven that governance can be genuine, people-focused and impactful. Under our watch, Osun has moved from the dark days of failed promises to a season of real modernization and development. I stand boldly on our records, Our footprints are visible and undeniable.

“With this nomination, I reaffirm my commitment to serve. I challenge my opponents to run on their records, just as I am running on mine. The people of Osun know the difference between empty promises and talk-and-do leadership.” Adeleke pointed out.

The sitting governor listed out his second term five-point agenda as:

  • Integrated Citizens and Workers’ Welfare
  • Infrastructure Consolidation for Economic Prosperity
  • Agro-Industrial Expansion for Youth Empowerment
  • Innovations in Health, Education & Social Care
  • Improved Business Environment for Job Creation

Adeleke who ran his first term of office under the Peoples’ Democratic Party—PDP— officially submitted his resignation letter to his former political affiliate late week, citing ‘ongoing crises’ as his withdrawal reason.
