Gov Adeleke’s performance guarantees re-election — Osun lawmaker

The Member representing Obokun State Constituency in the Osun State House of Assembly, Hon. Adewumi Adeyemi (Irekandu), has expressed confidence that Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke will be firmly on the path to victory long before midday on August 15, 2026, when voters across Osun State head to the polls.

The lawmaker made the declaration on Thursday in Ibokun during a special prayer programme organised by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Islamic Affairs, which brought together Imams and Islamic leaders from across Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency.

Speaking at the event, Irekandu stated that Governor Adeleke’s re-election campaign is being driven by performance rather than promises, noting that the administration’s achievements across key sectors have earned the confidence and support of the people.

According to him, the people of Osun State have witnessed significant progress in infrastructure, workers’ welfare, education, healthcare, social interventions, and grassroots development under the current administration.

He pointed to major road infrastructure projects, improvements in workers’ welfare, investments in education and healthcare, and several developmental interventions across the state. He also referenced ongoing projects and interventions affecting Obokun State Constituency, noting that the visible impact of governance has made the Governor’s campaign easier because the people can readily identify tangible results.

“We do not need to rely on promises when we have a Governor whose work speaks for itself. The people can see the projects, feel the impact, and assess the performance for themselves,” he said.
