Osun APC Boasts Expertise in Defeating Sitting Governors, Vows to Unseat Adeleke

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has launched a robust campaign, signaling its unwavering determination to reclaim the governorship in the upcoming August 15, 2026 election. The party's Director General for the campaign council, Oluwole Oke, minced no words in expressing confidence, stating, "We are experts in removing a sitting governor." This bold assertion underscores the APC's strategic focus on highlighting perceived failures of the incumbent administration led by Governor Ademola Adeleke.

“

The truth remains that the government has failed the people of Osun State on all fronts. In the area of administration, they have displayed incompetence, they have not been fair to the Osun people. The resources that have accrued to the state in the last three and a half years have been plundered and misused.

Central to the APC's campaign narrative is a scathing critique of the Adeleke administration's performance. Oke alleged widespread incompetence, describing the government's resource management as plundered and misused over the past three and a half years. Specific criticisms were leveled against the state of public schools, the availability of teachers, the condition of hospitals, and the overall failure of the agricultural sector. The APC's argument is that merely paying civil servants does not constitute effective governance, implying that the current administration has neglected its broader responsibilities to the people of Osun State.

“

We don’t have school buildings, we don’t have teachers, our children are no longer going to public schools, and these are the schools that we all attended. We have no equipped hospital that citizens of Osun State can go to. Our agricultural sector has failed.

In contrast, the APC promises a future under its candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, that prioritizes "the welfare of the citizens and banish poverty in the state." This vision aims to address the alleged shortcomings of the current government by focusing on tangible improvements in the lives of Osun residents. The party's confidence is rooted in its belief that voters will opt for the APC's proposed solutions over the current administration's track record.

“

With that, I don’t have fear in my mind that we will win this election, and don’t forget, I have always said this, we are experts in removing a sitting governor. We will remove Adeleke before 10 p.m. on August 15, 2026. Our candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, will emerge.

Predictably, the Adeleke administration has vehemently refuted these claims. The Deputy Spokesperson to the Governor, Oladele Bamiji, dismissed the APC's accusations as manufactured lies, asserting that schools and hospitals are functioning well and that all sectors are receiving adequate government attention. Bamiji expressed confidence in Governor Adeleke's re-election, predicting a decisive victory by midday on election day. This sharp exchange highlights the intense political battle underway in Osun State, with both parties presenting starkly different assessments of the current administration's performance and future prospects.

“

Wole Oke should stop manufacturing lies to please his party members. Schools in Osun under the Adeleke administration are in good state. Hospitals are functioning well and meeting expectations. All other sectors are also receiving government attention and the people of Osun are grateful to their governor.
