As Osun State gears up for the 2026 governorship election, Governor Ademola Adeleke's administration is laying a robust foundation for his re-election campaign. The formation of the 52-member Imole Campaign Council 2026 signifies a strategic and organized approach to consolidating political gains and mobilizing support across the state.
This comprehensive campaign structure, designed to be the central coordinating body, reflects a deep understanding of the political landscape in Osun. By bringing together a diverse mix of experienced politicians, technocrats, and grassroots mobilizers, the council aims to ensure a unified and effective campaign strategy. The inclusion of figures like Senator Kamorudeen Lere Oyewumi as Director General and Barrister Kolapo Alimi as Deputy Director General signals a blend of seasoned leadership and fresh perspectives.
This is a carefully designed structure to ensure effective coordination, strong grassroots mobilisation, and a unified campaign direction across all levels.
From our perspective in Osun, this is more than just an election setup; it's about continuity and progress. The "Imole" (light) initiative, which the governor champions, represents a vision for development and improved governance. While national and international media might view this as standard political maneuvering, for Osun residents, it's about reaffirming a mandate and continuing the journey towards a brighter future for the state. The meticulous planning, extending down to ward-level committees, underscores the seriousness with which this re-election bid is being approached.
We are combining experience, political strength, and professional expertise to drive a coordinated and effective campaign.
