Osun 2026: Kunle Adegoke declares guber ambition

A Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Osun State, Kunle Adegoke SAN (K-RAD) on Monday announced his intention of joining the state gubernatorial race under the platform of the party, with a pledge to put himself forward in total loyalty and service to make the State great forever.

The party chieftain who made the pledge while declaring his intention for the race at the state party Secretariat, Osogbo, promised not to disappoint the party and people of the state, if given the chance to steer the ship of the state, at the end of the day.

He, however, said, “The time for empty promises and political rhetoric has passed. The people of Osun deserve a government that is not just responsive but also proactive; a government that is not just well-meaning but, also effective and visionary; a government that is capable of engineering prosperity, creating wealth and not merely reliant on federal allocations; a government prepared to turn our abundant human capital to enviable assets.”

“This is not a journey I can take alone. I need your support. I need your belief. I need your hands, your minds, and your voices. I am a servant with a calling to make a difference. I offer you a platform of ideas, a record of integrity, and a promise of dedicated service.”

“Let us join hands and build an Osun where every child can dream, where every young person can find a job, and where every elder can live in dignity. Let us work together to make our state a beacon of hope for our collective all.”

Adegoke, however, maintained that, “if given the privilege to serve, my administration will be built on four core pillars which are: “Economic Revival and Job Creation: We will create a conducive environment for local and foreign investors, focusing on key sectors like agriculture, mining, industrialization and tourism. We will provide soft loans and grants for our small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and empower our youth with skills relevant to the 21st-century economy. My goal is to reduce unemployment and make Osun a hub of economic activity in the Southwest.”

“To this end, we shall embark on Agricultural Revolution. Osun is an agricultural state, and we will unlock its full potentials. We will revive the tradition of farm settlements and support our farmers with modern farming techniques, access to improved seedlings, and a guaranteed market for their produce. We will establish food processing hubs to add value to our agricultural products, creating wealth for our farmers and food security for our State.”

“Educational and Health Sectors Transformation: We will prioritize the welfare of our teachers, healthcare workers and people in general. We will invest in modernizing our schools and hospitals, ensuring that every child has access to quality education and every citizen receives affordable and effective healthcare. We will equip our institutions with the resources they need to produce a generation of scientific innovators and leaders.”

“Infrastructural Development: We will embark on a comprehensive program of infrastructural and urban renewal, putting in place lasting and motorable roads, providing clean water to our communities, and ensuring that our towns and cities are well-lit and secure. We will leverage technology to improve urban planning and public transportation.”

“Security and Good Governance: The safety and security of our people will be my highest priority. We will work closely with security agencies and our communities to ensure that our State remains a haven of peace. On governance, my administration will be open, transparent, and accountable. We will fight corruption and ensure that public funds are used for the benefit of the people, not a privileged few,” he submitted.
