Osun APC To Gov Adeleke: Congratulations On Getting The Nod To Seek Re-election But Prepare Your Handover Note

Osun State APC on Thursday noted that it welcomed the go-ahead given Governor Ademola Adeleke by the PDP to seek re-election ahead of the August 8, 2026 governorship election but however asked the governor to begin to ‘catalogue his handover note as no magic wand can save him from the impending defeat at the polls next year given his abysmal performance in office’.

‘Trending photos and videos of Governor Adeleke showed his arrival at the PDP National Secretariat in Abuja as well as filling out of documents that looked like the screening forms, with the help of Mr Bunmi Jenyo, the state Commissioner for Commerce.

Recall that Adeleke had struggled multiple times in the last five months to defect to the All Progressives Congress, fearing that his chances of winning re-election are slim, but was turned down by the leadership and members of the party, arguing that he is an unmarketable governor who would court hatred and electoral misfortunes for APC on account of his government’s poor policy formulation and implementation, lack of transparency, endemic corruption, nepotism and cronyism’ the party submitted in a statement issued in Osogbo and made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by its spokesman, Chief Kola Olabisi on Thursday. 

The state APC accused the Adeleke administration of failing to fund education, a development that has according to the party forced managements of virtually all the tertiary institutions in the state to come up with a cut-throat and arbitrary fee regime to shore up the meagre resources available to them.

‘Today’s kangaroo screening is a mere smokescreen to save Adeleke from the attendant embarrassment his rejection by the APC had generated as information available to us confirms that he was still seen last week loitering around Aso Villa, begging, hustling and genuflecting around the country, alongside his elder brother, Dr Deji Adeleke, seeking for a soft-landing to join the APC.

Although the distraught Adeleke has been screened by a faction of his party leadership to contest the 2026 governorship election, we, as a party, are not unaware of the fact that the entire Osun State people have unanimously screened out the governor based on his unenviable three-year-old administration which is riddled with misgovernance, misplaced priorities, vengeance, wastage of resources and other numerous ills.

We pity the governor as he is aware of where the shoes are pinching him cognizant that his fruitless efforts to defect to the opposition APC party which he has been keeping away from his followers will land a heavy blow on his re-election bid.

One thing that is sacrosanct is that there is no political party under which he may contest the next year’s governorship election that he would not be defeated by our party.

The major problem that Governor Adeleke is contending with is the fear of the array of the super-qualified governorship aspirants in our party who are all individually capable of sending the embattled governor back to Atlanta in the United States or wherever he may have come from’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
