The August 15, 2026 governorship election in Osun State is essentially a contest between Governor Ademola Adeleke and President Bola Tinubu, according to African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain Dele Momodu.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Momodu argued that the All Progressives Congress (APC) does not have enough political strength in the state to challenge Adeleke without the influence of the presidency.
“The battle in Osun is not a contest between Adeleke and the APC; it is between Adeleke and President Bola Tinubu. APC is no match for Adeleke in Osun,” he said.
Momodu maintained that political stakeholders across party lines understand Adeleke’s strong grassroots presence in the state.
“Everybody agrees on that. They can make all the noise and hullabaloo, but I can tell you today that even the presidency knows. I have a lot of friends in APC; they know they cannot match Ademola Adeleke,” he added.
His comments come as major political parties intensify their campaigns and final preparations ahead of Saturday’s governorship election in the state.
