The eight-year tenure of Governor Rauf Aregbesola is gradually winding up as the residents of the state troop to the polls today, Saturday, September 22, to decide who will be the next governor of the state of Osun.


Although there are 48 parties and thus 48 governorship candidates cleared to contest for September 22 governorship election in Osun state, about five of them are expected to be the major contenders jostling for the 1,246,915 votes in the state.
These are a former secretary to the state government, Fatai Akinbade of the ADC; immediate past secretary to the state government, Moshood Adeoti of the ADP; the candidate of the governing APC, Adegboyega Oyetola; a senator, Ademola Adeleke of the PDP; and a former senator, Iyiola Omisore of the SDP.
Who will Osun people give the mandate to become the next state governor among these candidates? Is it going to be Oyetola? Adeleke? Omisore? Or a new fresh face?

We are on ground, live and direct from Osun state, to bring you insightful live updates as Osun people troop out to cast their votes for their preferred candidates today, Saturday, September 22, 2018.
