2026 will be a walkover for Adeleke – Osun PDP
By Deborah Oladejo, Osogbo
The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has boasted that Governor Ademola Adeleke will win re-election in 2026, no matter who the opposition presents, saying the election will be nothing more than a “walk in the park” for the governor.
In a statement signed by its Director of Media, Oladele Bamiji, the PDP, which described as laughable the rising number of governorship aspirants within the All Progressives Congress (APC), declared that Osun is not a rehabilitation centre for perennial losers and ego-driven merchants.
Challenging the opposition, Bamiji said, “It is laughable watching men who once contributed to the misery of our people suddenly re-emerge with hastily assembled declarations, parading themselves as emergency redeemers.
“We challenge these aspirants to tell the people of Osun State what exactly they forgot in the Abere government secretariat that they are so desperate to recover. Is it the files of unpaid salaries, abandoned pensioners, or the stolen hopes of our teachers and local government workers?”
The PDP stressed that any candidate coming from APC would struggle to explain to the residents of the state why Adeleke’s people-focused governance should be traded for a past riddled with failure, deception, and unbridled arrogance.
He said, “Such aspirants must be ready to face pensioners and explain why their tears never mattered when APC was in power. They must answer to local government workers whose allocations were brazenly pegged under their supervision and are still being withheld by the APC-led federal government today.”
Bamiji further mocked the opposition’s desperate PR tactics, noting that “insulting blabbings against a working governor” cannot translate to credibility or popularity and that “Osun people don’t vote deceptive noise anymore; they vote visible results.”
The PDP affirmed its readiness for the election, trusting that voters will reject regression and back Governor Adeleke’s progressive path.
