Governor Ademola Adeleke has officially signaled the commencement of his re-election campaign for the upcoming August 15,2026 gubernatorial election, unveiling his five-point agenda aimed at consolidating his administration’s infrastructure and welfare projects.
Speaking on Wednesday at the Government’s House while hosting the Osun State council of the Ansar-u-Deen Society of Nigeria, he stated that his first-term performance serves as the strongest argument for his return to office.
He noted that the new reloaded agenda will prioritize integrated welfare for youth, women, and workers, alongside massive agro-industrial expansion designed to drive collective prosperity.
“Our reloaded Five-Point Agenda will focus on integrated youth, women and workers’ welfare and empowerment; infrastructure consolidation for citizens’ social and economic wellbeing; agro-industrial expansion for human development and collective prosperity; affordable and qualitative health and education access; and an improved and secured business environment for job creation”, he said.
Adeleke detailed the milestones of his administration, including the construction of over 350 kilometers of roads, the completion of three major flyovers, and the rehabilitation of 200 health centers and 150 schools, adding that “We have constructed over 350 kilometres of roads, developed three major flyover bridges, revived six moribund waterworks, drilled 332 boreholes across wards, rehabilitated schools and health centres, and paid inherited half salaries and almost one hundred billion naira in pension debts.”
The Governor specifically pointed to the “Imole Medical Outreach,” which has reportedly provided free healthcare to 80,000 residents, and the distribution of thousands of cocoa seedlings and brand-new tractors to revitalize the state’s agricultural sector.
According to him, “I deserve re-election because of what our administration has delivered for the people of Osun. We have empowered the cooperative movement with almost four billion naira, strengthened community development associations with grassroots health and infrastructure projects, and implemented the Imole Medical Outreach that has benefited almost eighty thousand residents.”
During the visit, the Ansar-u-Deen Society, led by Secretary Akande Hafiz, commended the Governor for the dualization of the Odo-Ori-Adeeke Road in Iwo, noting its positive impact on local trade. The group also requested government assistance in constructing a new mosque to replace a place of worship demolished during recent road construction in the area.
Governor Adeleke thereby urged the religious leaders and the general public to support a free and fair electoral process, maintaining that his government will continue to be inclusive and people-centered if granted a renewed mandate in 2026.
