Prepare Your Handover Note, Osun APC Tells Adeleke

…Says PDP Screening, A Face-Saving Move After His Failed Defection To APC

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has welcomed the state Governor Ademola Adeleke to the August 8 2026 governorship contest, following his purported screening by the national body of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), warning him to begin to catalogue his handover note as no magic wand can save him from the impending defeat at the poll next year given his abysmal performance in office.

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

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 his re-election were 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 misfortune for APC on account of his government's poor policy formulation and implementation, lack of transparency, endemic corruption, nepotism and cronyism.

The APC accused Adeleke of running a shallow and mediocre government with only focus on himself and his unproductive members of his cabinet having wasted over N60 billion on the Governor's Office in 35 months, without recruiting a single teacher into our schools even though no fewer than 32,000 struggling citizens were duped of their hard-earned money under a pretext of wanting to recruit them as school teachers.

Adeleke was equally accused of failing to fund education, a development which has forced management of virtually all the tertiary institutions in the state to install 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 generated as information available to us confirms that he was still found last week loitering around Aso Villa, begging, hustling and genuflecting around the country, alongside his elder brother, Dr Deji Adeleke, for a soft-landing to join the APC.

Even though the distraught Adeleke had 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 having regard that his fruitless efforts to defect into 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 be contesting 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 might have come from.

The 2026 governorship election is a contest for Adeleke and his rudderless and sanguinary party to lose considering the poor and unfriendly public perception on their government.

Make Dem dey play. Adeleke is romancing with the presidency, Oyetola might not be in the ballot

Hmm 🧐. Next governorship election in Osun State will be tough in the two parties in Nigeria

Just work for the people like Governor Otti is doing, you won’t bother about reelection, the people will do that for you

Election time will soon be here, everybody eye go clear.

Osun state is one of the few states I can boldly say no federal government can put in their back pocket.

Someone should tell the dancing governor to sit up, governance is not a joking matter!

Be deceiving yourself.

Even PBAT knows that Adeleke is winning Osun...
The agreement is , deliver APC for presidency

APC Dey Play, The People Of Osun Loves Their Governor, It's Not Every time That APC Will Keep Reminding The People How Dubious And Criminal Minded They Are ,
Osun People Should Protect Their Votes Even Though We Know That The Terrible President is From Iragbeji Osun State.

I don't see any credible candidate from the APC that can go head-to-head with Adeleke unless Federal Government choose to rig for APC.

Osun indigenes,
Over to you.

Vote for the person that will make your life better.

Do not vote for parties, vote for a good individual.

APC IN OSUN STATE LIKES TO DREAM

Adeleke will win because he’s a likeable individual. But he should focus on the masses welfare to ensure a done deal in the election.

Adeleke family is the most popular in Osun State. They ain't going nowhere!

They are truly dreaming. I was surprised last week when I went to Osun state and the story is all about Adeleke performance in Ife. I was surprised cos Omisore is from Ife. It is like all of them are speaking in one voice secretly about voting Adeleke for second term. APC are truly dreaming
