Iyiola Omisore Gains Momentum in Osun Governorship Race Amid Political Turbulence

Iyiola Omisore, a seasoned politician from Osun, has positioned himself as a leading candidate for the 2026 governorship race. Despite past scandals, Omisore's deep roots in Osun politics and support from APC factions have boosted his confidence.

Speculations about Governor Ademola Adeleke defecting to APC have added uncertainty to the political landscape. Omisore's loyalty to party leader Bola Tinubu and his ability to bridge factions within APC have strengthened his position.

His candidacy faces the challenge of securing endorsements to sway voters.
