2026 Osun Guber: Gov Adeleke Wins Accord Party Nomination At Primary Held In Osogbo…He’ll Win Re-election Next Year-National Chairman

Ahead of the governorship election scheduled to hold in the State of the Living Spring on August 8, 2026, Governor Ademola Adeleke has won the Accord Party gubernatorial nomination.

‘The electoral committee has delivered on its mandate. After voting and counting that was witnessed by the agents of the candidate and the officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Having the highest number of votes, I declare Senator Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke as the winner of the primary’, Secretary of the electoral committee, Abdulazeez Salaudeen, submitted.

Governor Adeleke was elected by party delegates at the primary held in Osogbo on Wednesday.

150 delegates from the 30 local governments in the state participated in the guber primary and the governor got 145 votes while there were 5 invalid votes.

A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by the governor’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed noted that Adeleke, in his acceptance speech, unveiled an upgraded five-point agenda focusing on integrated citizens and welfare of workers; infrastructure consolidation for economic prosperity; Increased agro-Industrial expansion for youth empowerment; innovations for health, education and social care; and Improved Business Environment for job creation.

‘We are today launching the battle for continuity of progress, good governance and democratic dividends. My candidacy signals the sustenance of the golden movement when the light of development continues to shine across our state. We vow never to relent in the rewarding service to our people.

We note today as the point of resolution never to go back to the dark days but to advance further into the journey of modernization. For a long time, Osun has witnessed failed promises. In the last three years, we have actualized the yearnings and aspirations of our people. Ours is a government of ‘talk and do’.

In the forthcoming polls, I challenge likely opponents to run on their records. In their days in governments, what were their deliverables to the people of Osun state? How did they run or manage the state? What legacy did they leave for the people?

In their days in power, they failed the people; they failed their party; they even failed themselves. Today, the people reject them. Even their own partymen and women are up in arms against them.

I am proud to run on my records of achievements in the last three years. Despite harassment and blockages, my administration outperforms, outshines and surpasses the records of the opposition. I have raised the bar of governance beyond rhetorics and deceits. Our achievements can be seen and felt by the people.

That Osun moved from number 33 under the APC government to number 7 under my leadership in a national examination rating cannot be disputed. That my government reduces the Osun infrastructure deficit from over 80 percent in 2022 by over 40 percent as of 2025 is attested to by many experts. That we paid over 40 percent of Osun inherited debt is confirmed by the Debt Management Office. That we came first in access to primary health care across the South west is in the public domain.

Our governance delivery proved governance can be real, that leadership can actually serve the people, that there are leaders still committed to the service of the people. I belong to that circle of leaders who prioritizes meeting the aspirations and needs of our people.

To the good people of Osun, the 2026 race is not just about running on our records, we are bringing new innovations and new packages to take our people to new levels of development. I am bold to announce that I have substantially delivered on my five point agenda which I promised the people of Osun state in 2022’ he added.

 National Chairman of the Accord Party, Barr. Maxwell Mgbudem, who presented the certificate of return to Governor Ademola Adeleke, said the primary has confirmed Accord as a party of due process and internal democracy.

He described the emergence of Governor Adeleke as divine while expressing strong optimism that Governor Adeleke will resoundingly win his re-election in 2026-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
