OSOGBO – 17/04/2026– osunstate.gov.ng

Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke has urged all eligible residents who are yet to register for their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to take advantage of the final day of the ongoing voter registration exercise, which ends this Saturday.

He described voter registration as the foundation of democratic participation, stressing that every eligible citizen must act now to secure their right to vote.

The statement called on youths, women, first-time voters, and all qualified citizens across the state to troop out in large numbers to designated registration centres, noting that this is the last opportunity to be part of the electoral process ahead of forthcoming elections.

The Governor also cautioned residents against what it described as “deliberate fear-mongering by desperate political actors” who seek to discourage participation by spreading false claims that votes will not count or that outcomes are already predetermined.

“It is important to state clearly that such narratives are nothing but attempts to weaken the will of the people. Osun voters are enlightened, courageous, and fully aware that the power to decide leadership rests with them,” the statement said.

Reassuring citizens, the government emphasized that every valid vote remains a powerful expression of the people’s will, and that no amount of intimidation or propaganda can override the collective decision of a determined electorate.

“Those who talk of ‘federal might’ are merely projecting their own desperation. Democracy is not dictated by noise or threats, but by the ballots cast by the people. In Osun, the people’s vote will prevail accordingly,” the statement added.

His Excellency further encouraged community leaders, youth groups, and stakeholders to mobilise residents at the grassroots, ensuring that no eligible voter is left behind in this critical civic exercise.

Reiterating its commitment to credible democratic processes and inclusive governance, the state government urged residents to remain peaceful, orderly, and focused as they complete their registration.

“Your vote is your power. Your PVC is your voice. Do not surrender it to fear, doubt, or deception. Step out this Saturday, get registered, and be ready to defend democracy,” the statement concluded.

OSOGBO – 07/03/2026 – osunstate.gov.ng

Governor Ademola Adeleke has again reaffirmed his endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for re-election in 2027, appreciating Osun people for demonstrating mass endorsement for Accord.

Addressing cabinet members, special advisers and top government officials at the government house, Governor Adeleke said the crisis rocking the local governments in Osun state has not affected his endorsement of the President during his days in the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP).

“We have no problem with President Tinubu. He is our leader. He represents the South West. I restate our endorsement of Mr President for re-election in the best interest of the South West.

“Our problem is with Minister Oyetola who has not gotten over his loss of 2022. We hold Mr. Oyetola accountable for the local government crisis rather than the President. Osun people also hold the same view.

“I appreciate Osun people for their mass embrace of Accord since I joined the party. Osun has become yellow and this is even spreading outside Osun borders. Our local chapters are running a weekly walk to live which is attracting thousands of participants.

“I assure Osun people of more delivery of democratic dividends. Our excellent performance so far will be redoubled when we get re-elected. In our new upgraded agenda, we are refocussing attention on youth, women and workers.

“We are consolidating on our gains in the infrastructure sector while we dwell more on agro-industrialisation and enhanced access to qualitative education and health services. We are set to triple our good job on good governance and delivery of democratic dividends”, the governor told the government and party officials at the meeting.

He directed the officials to relaunch the Accord structures across the state through ongoing membership registration and roll out mobilisation of voters across the 332 wards in the state.

“Go out and build on the popularity of Accord since we came on board. Solidify our hold on the grassroots. Flaunt our record of achievements across the local governments and get set for open campaign for victory on August 15th”, the governor declared at the meeting.

The meeting was attended by the Deputy Governor, Prince Kola Adewusi; top party chieftain, Yeye Dupe Adeleke-Sanni; House Speaker, Rt. Hon. Adewale Egbedun; Accord State Chairman, Pastor Victor Akande; General Chairman, Hon Sunday Bisi; commissioners, special advisers, elected council chairmen, Senior Special Assistants, and other state and party functionaries.
