Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, on Wednesday formally inaugurated his campaign council ahead of the August 15, 2026 governorship election, expressing strong confidence that his re-election bid is already on course for victory.
Addressing party faithful and supporters at the event, the governor said he was optimistic about the outcome, describing the inauguration as the beginning of a renewed political movement toward continuity in office.
“I am feeling the victory, the defeat of our opponents. This team is heading to victory. My spirit confirms our party, the Accord Party, is declared winner with wide margins,” Adeleke said amid cheers, singing, and dancing by supporters.
The governor drew parallels with his 2022 electoral journey, noting that the current political momentum mirrors the early stages of that successful campaign.
“This is how we started in 2022. Today is the march to victory on August 15. I hereby inaugurate this Campaign Council to the service of continuity and delivery of good governance,”
The inauguration formally signals the commencement of Adeleke’s re-election campaign, with the council expected to coordinate strategy, mobilisation, and outreach across all parts of the state.
The event, which featured music, dancing, and a high turnout of supporters, reflects the increasing political tempo in Osun State as parties position themselves for what is expected to be a closely contested governorship election.
