APC Criticizes Adeleke Ahead of Osun 2026 Election

As the August 15, 2026 governorship election approaches, political exchanges intensify in Osun State between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Governor Ademola Adeleke. The APC, represented by Kola Olabisi, criticizes Adeleke's administration, questioning his educational qualifications and alleging financial mismanagement.

They argue that there is no compelling reason for voters to re-elect Adeleke, highlighting a lack of transparency in government projects and the distribution of teacher recruitment slots, which they claim favored Adeleke's hometown. The APC also raises concerns about the administration's handling of local government disputes and judicial matters.

In response, Olawal Rashe, spokesperson for the Osun State Government, defends Adeleke's record, asserting significant progress in various development initiatives, including healthcare and infrastructure projects. Rashe maintains that Adeleke remains eligible to contest the upcoming election, addressing the qualifications issue raised by the opposition.
