Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has extended his re-election campaign to the hometown of his All Progressives Congress (APC) rival, Oyebamiji, as political activities intensify ahead of the 2026 governorship election.
The governor’s visit formed part of his grassroots mobilisation efforts, during which he met with residents and community leaders to seek their support for a second term in office. The outreach reflects Adeleke’s strategy of expanding his appeal beyond his traditional political base.
Addressing members of the community, the governor highlighted his administration’s achievements and outlined his vision for continued development across Osun State. He urged voters to support his re-election bid, emphasizing the need for continuity in governance and the completion of ongoing projects.
The campaign stop in the hometown of a major political opponent underscores the increasingly competitive nature of the forthcoming election. By engaging directly with communities traditionally viewed as favourable to the opposition, Adeleke is seeking to broaden his electoral support across the state.
Political observers view the visit as part of a wider effort by the governor to strengthen his presence in key constituencies ahead of the polls. Both the ruling party and the opposition are expected to intensify grassroots campaigns as preparations for the election continue.
With the 2026 governorship contest drawing closer, campaign activities are expected to gather momentum, as candidates seek to win over undecided voters and consolidate support across Osun State.
