Senator Iyiola Omisore has dedicated his political structure across Osun State to the re-election bid of Governor Ademola Adeleke. The decision, announced on Wednesday, is aimed at promoting unity, progress, and good governance in the state.
Omisore's Statement
In a statement, Omisore declared, “As we move toward the August 15 gubernatorial election, our position is clear, our structure is united, and our support is total. Osun is moving forward.” The move consolidates support for Adeleke ahead of the crucial poll.
Adeleke's Campaign Flag-off
Governor Adeleke officially flagged off his re-election campaign at Freedom Park in Osogbo, drawing a large crowd of supporters and Accord Party chieftains. During the event, some Omisore loyalists decamped to the ruling party, signaling growing unity.
Adeleke addressed concerns about a Federal High Court ruling that ordered the de-registration of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Accord Party, and others. He assured supporters that Accord would appear on the ballot for the August 15 governorship election and the 2027 general election.
“Let me start by assuring you all – Accord will be on the ballot; your votes will count; and I will be re-elected as your governor on August 15th. All lawful means are being deployed to sustain and retain our rights to vote and be voted for. We will not bow to dark forces; we remain courageous, and we shall again be victorious by the special grace of God,” Adeleke said.
He urged supporters to mobilize for Accord at all voting units, emphasizing that the party remains duly registered and that the rule of law must prevail. “Democracy must survive,” he added.
