In a message to his supporters, Adegoke, a corporate and commercial lawyer, called for collective efforts toward establishing a more accountable and people-centred government in Osun.

“This is the time to actualise our dream of a better-governed Osun,” Adegoke said.

“We owe it to ourselves and to the generations coming after us. I urge our coordinators and supporters to stay focused. The journey ahead is tough, but the future is bright.”

Ademola Adeleke, governor of Osun state, is set to complete his first term in 2026.

Although Adeleke has not yet announced his intention to seek re-election, several groups within the state have already voiced their support for his second term.

Adegoke’s governorship ambition dates back to 2018 when he contended in the APC primary election won by Adegboyega Oyetola.
