Official Campaign Launch and Institutional Support

Governor Ademola Adeleke has formally declared his intention to seek a second term in office, signaling the start of the 2026 gubernatorial campaign season in Osun State. The announcement was made during a high-profile visit by the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society of Nigeria (ADS) at the Government House in Osogbo. The delegation, led by Asiwaju Justice Adeigbe (Rtd), offered a strong endorsement of the administration, citing monumental infrastructural projects and the successful dualization of key transport corridors, such as the Iwo road project, as primary justifications for continuity.

The 'Reloaded' Five-Point Agenda

To anchor his re-election bid, Governor Adeleke introduced a refined "Reloaded" Five-Point Agenda. This strategic framework is designed to build upon the foundations laid during his first term:

Integrated Welfare: A focused approach to the empowerment of youth, women, and the state workforce.

Infrastructure Consolidation: Continued investment in physical assets to drive social and economic wellbeing.
