Political tension is mounting in Osun State as Governor Ademola Adeleke and former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola trade accusations ahead of the August 15, 2026 governorship election.

Oyetola, who is now the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, has dismissed the significance of Adeleke's endorsement of President Bola Tinubu, insisting that such political support will not prevent the APC from defeating the incumbent governor at the polls.

According to Oyetola, Adeleke's concerns about the election environment indicate growing anxiety within the governor's camp as the election approaches.

The comments have triggered a fresh response from Governor Adeleke, who has accused Oyetola and the All Progressives Congress of allegedly planning to rig the election.

Adeleke has called on the people of Osun State to remain vigilant and protect their votes, while warning against any attempt to interfere with the electoral process.

The allegations, however, remain claims by the respective political camps, with the APC rejecting accusations that it is planning to manipulate the election.

The latest confrontation comes against the backdrop of the 2022 Osun governorship election, when Adeleke defeated Oyetola in a closely fought contest.

Four years later, Osun is again witnessing a highly competitive political battle, with the APC seeking to reclaim the state while Adeleke is seeking to retain the governorship.

As August 15 draws closer, attention is increasingly focused on the preparedness of the electoral authorities, the conduct of political parties and the role of security agencies.

The credibility of the election will ultimately depend on whether voters are able to cast their ballots freely and whether the process is conducted peacefully and transparently.

For now, the political battle remains intense, with both camps confident of victory.

But on election day, the final decision will rest with the people of Osun State.

Is this guy no longer an obidient journalist?

Ademola endorsed Tinubu for president.. so, sane Nigerians want to witness same Tinubu to dribble him.

The only way election can be free fair and credible is if their candidate or party wins

What happened to your bragging and over confidence about Peter Obi winning in 2023

This Rufai just like fooling himself

Zonefree:
Ademola endorsed Tinubu for president.. so, sane Nigerians want to witness same Tinubu to dribble him.

Whether Apc win or lose the Osun Guber election, that won't change the 2027 presidential election as the state is already sealed.

No footprints of both NDC And ADC in the state

How Osun Will Be Won And Lost: Five Battlegrounds That Could Decide August 15. By CharlesCNG.
https://www.nairaland.com/8726219/how-osun-won-lost-five.

Adeleke defeated Oyetola in 2022 by just 28,344 votes—403,371 to 375,027. But the real story lies in geography and margins of osun's electoral power blocs.

1. IJESALAND

Adeleke won the six Ijesa LGAs by only about 6,800 votes. With Wole Oke, Sanya Omirin and Francis Fadahunsi now in APC, the party doesn't need a landslide—it needs to erase that margin.

2. IFE

APC already won the four Ife LGAs by roughly 8,600 votes. With Taofeek Ajilesoro joining APC and Iyiola Omisore backing Oyebamiji, the task is simple: win Ife bigger.

3. OSOGBO

Adeleke's advantage across Osogbo, Olorunda, Irepodun and Orolu was about 12,700 votes. APC doesn't necessarily need to win here—just shrink that firewall while protecting its strengths elsewhere in Central.

4. THE WEST

Adeleke's roughly 28,000-vote Ede advantage alone nearly equalled his statewide victory margin. Outside Ede, however, the West was competitive. Oyebamiji's task: contain Ede and maximise Irewole ( Oyebamiji home base) ,Isokan, Ayedaade and neighbouring battlegrounds.*

5. THE SALAAM / AREGBESOLA FACTOR

Najeem Salaam may not need to win to decide who does. If ADC fragments APC's traditional constituency, Adeleke benefits. If it takes votes Adeleke needs, APC benefits.

That is the mathematics of August 15:

APC doesn't need to conquer Adeleke's fortresses—it needs to shrink them. Adeleke must stop defections becoming transferable votes. Salaam only needs to take enough of the right votes from the right candidate.

Osun 2026 may be decided not by new strongholds, but by[b] who changes the margins that decided 2022.[/b]

We are talking about those people who fights and beat up people in Lagos I don't know why you are mentioning Obi here.

Are you sure you are not part of the people who beat up voters?


🥸🥸

Rufai is not far from the truth. The president has more or less charged them to do whatever it takes to 'capture' Osun. So what else do you expect?

My problem with this guy is that He Talks Too Much. He should learn to keep quiet some times. He should learn from Seun
