This is Osun, not Saraki Kwara State. When Governor Adeleke met with the “Federal might," it was a normal visitation, but when the APC governorship candidate, AMBO, met with the “Federal might," it was bragging—OKAY! The president of Nigeria is an APC member. He has the right to support any APC members vying for election in Nigeria. Under President Tinubu's administration, we witnessed a free, fair, and less violent election in Nigeria. Recall the 2022 election: an APC member, FPMBUHARI, was the president in 2022, yet you didn’t accuse the OSUN APC of “Federal Might” when we lost to ADELEKE. It’s now that you all are playing a pity game. The Osun election is about grassroots political workings and not social media politics. The margins in the Osun election are always closer between the APC and the PDP, regardless of the candidates both parties presented. The Osun election is always tied—this already refutes your “wide margin speculation.” These are the results of the last two elections in Osun State. Osun 2022 result. PDP—403,371 APC—375,073 Osun 2018 result APC—255, 505 PDP—255,023 The current political structures don’t favor Adeleke. The PDP structure has collapsed, the Accord structure is weak, the bigwigs who assisted the governor's emergence have left the party, no Aregbesola anti-party, there is no voting till 11pm in Ede again, there are no sympathy votes, etc. The current Osun election DATA doesn’t favor Governor Adeleke. No Chochocho. No emotional or media blackmail would work this time around. Please, Egbon, always tell the governor the truth! The only governor who had a wide margin was Aregbesola. Aregbesola achieved it via the defection of PDP bigwigs to the APC, despite being the Governor then. The likes of Oyinlola, Serubawon(Late. Isiaka Adeleke), and others. Aregbesola APC (394,684) and OMISORE PDP(292,747) As of today, Osun APC is adding up at the grassroots. We aren't relying on "Federal might." The President will support any APC members vying for an election—That’s sacrosanct! APC will win the Osun August 15th election and we’d vote massively for President Tinubu in 2027✊🏼. BOLA l’Osun. BOLA ni Federal.

I can tell you clearly that Governor Ademola Adeleke has failed the people of Osun. In the area of security, Governor Adeleke has not done anything. If he had done well as a governor, it would have been very difficult for us to campaign. - Remi Omowaiye, spokesperson, Osun APC campaign, speaking on Osun politics. #PoliticsToday

How a gubernatorial primaries was held in Osun State without Adeleke’s men being onground shows a shocking lack of capacity that needs to be addressed before the next election - Adeleke should stop trying to be friends with those who have secretly declared war against him. Tinubu is not a friend of the Govt of Osun and if the withholding of LGA funds have not shown this yet then the arsenal to be deployed against him in the next election will prove it. A dynasty can survive in exile and historical dynasties have even survived wholesale regicide as long as one blood heir survives - dynasties do not perish in warfare, they perish by assimilation, marriages with strange families until the bloodline is diluted. With APC coming with federal might, best bet for Adeleke would be to make major concessions and align with ADC, too many betrayers even in PDP and this tactic of leaving the structure behind is already proving faulty - carry everyone who is loyal to you and merge into ADC, entangle PDP in court and give us a straight popularity contest between APC and ADC as a precursor to the national battle to come. A situation of an ADC candidate, a PDP candidate and an Adeleke on a fresh platform with APC federal might may prove insurmountable; 2023 has taught us that only a united opposition force can defeat the powermongers of Abuja. Defining your enemies clearly is the first lift of the fog of war, everything else will follow.

Oyetola Was Warned Against Contesting Against Me to Avoid Defeat — Adeleke I have friends in the APC who informed me of Oyetola’s desire to run for a second term. He was discouraged because they knew he could not defeat me. He brought in a proxy so he could control him from the Government House. The APC has only brought hardship to the people of Osun. Today, I have cleared pensioners' backlog to the tune of N80 billion. Gov. Ademola Adeleke, Governor of Osun State

Nurudeen Alowonle, an appointee of Governor Ademola Adeleke and Chairman of the Osun State Park Management, was arrested for being in possession of a service pistol and ammunition. Following the arrest, Governor Adeleke petitioned the then Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun to transfer the officer that made the arrest, CSP Moses Lohor out of Osun State. That was how the case was swept under the carpet. Since that time, Nurudeen Alawonle has been linked to series of political attacks against Osun APC members. But strangely, he has been untouchable as he is said to be harboured in the Government House. Governor Adeleke must be pressured to produce Nurudeen Alawonle for prosecution.

Governor Adeleke's supporters in Osun State have mastered the act of intimidating and bullying President Tinubu Bola Ahmed Tinubu and AMBO’s Bola Oyebamiji supporters in Osun State. They plan to destroy any APC supporters' businesses who refuse to support Adeleke re-election. Should politics stop anyone from running their legitimate business in Nigeria? This is unacceptable! The Governor shouldn’t force the oblivion popularity on Osun people. We’re practicing democracy—lets everyone support who they like. It might be your business tomorrow! Osun people should speak up and condemned the illicit acts from Accord party members. The IGP, DSS, COAS, and other security agencies should please come to the aid of APC supporters in Osun State.

This evening, I paid a solidarity visit to former Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, over his attack by APC-sponsored thugs at the recent inauguration of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kaduna State. I reiterated that the activities of the Tinubu-led APC administration poses the greatest risk to our democracy since the return of democratic governance. It is concerning that this administration has turned into a full-blown dictatorship. We resolved to harmonise our strengths and stand united in our resolve to rescue Nigeria. The battle to save our democracy and provide a viable alternative platform that will enthrone purposeful governance is a response to the wishes and aspirations of Nigerians who are fed up with the incompetent and clueless Tinubu government. -AA

President Tinubu, I'm the Chief Security Officer of Osun State, and I'm passing this message to you. Osun will not accept any rigging. If anybody tries to do otherwise, the political crisis of 1983, when some people tried to rig Michael Ajasin out of power in Ondo State, may repeat itself again. President Tinubu, the Accord Party has endorsed you as its presidential candidate. Why are we suffering again? - Governor Adeleke sends a message to President Tinubu ahead of the August 15 governorship election in Osun State

This interview happened in August 2025 shortly after Mark and co completed a hostile takeover of the ADC. This man is Hon. Leke Abejide. He is an unapologetic supporter of Tinubu. Do not be deceived by his ant voice, he is a billionaire and was the first person to win a national assembly seat back to back using ADC. He did it in 2019, defeating APC, PDP and other parties to win the 2019 Yagba Federal Constituency election in Kogi State. He repeated it in 2023. So, he's no push over. By virtue of that he became ADC National Leader. Unfortunately, the first thing the coalition people did after their takeover of ADC was to suspend this man using Dino Melaye. The man said no way that he'll show them he's the National Leader of the ADC. Today, it's obvious karma has come to hunt the coalition people...

Lessons from Nigerian Politics This video features 2 big politicians who were together in PDP. One was the host governor to the Goodluck Jonathan presidential campaign train and the other, deputy director general of the campaign organisation. After 11 years, the host governor who said the APC only knows how to build prisons and does not value education is became a minister under the same government he campaigned against and is now the Senate President under the same “koboko” government. The Deputy Campaign DG on the other hand has continued to be a leading opposition voice. He rightly predicted that Nigeria will stop working when APC grabs power. The irony however, is that the governor he was referencing that couldn’t complete a stadium is now in the same party with him and Infact a co-aspirant for the ADC ticket. I will never make enemies because of Nigerian Politicians. My enemies will be on my own terms and they will deserve it.

BREAKING: Governor Bala Mohammed blasts President Tinubu over the tax reform laws and the arraignment of his commissioner of finance by the EFCC over an alleged $9.7 million terrorism financing charge Bala said: I woke up to an accusation that I'm being accused of terrorism. My commissioner of finance is being held by the EFCC, and my name is being mentioned in the suit even though I have immunity. They have not done 1km of road in Bauchi State. They've not provided water. Even the security agencies, I'm the one paying them to work for us, and they have the guts to talk. I have kept quiet for too long. I'm not a coward. The federal government should look at its tax system. In spite of all the impurities, they are still going ahead with it to improvish the common man and the sub nationals (states), and we are keeping quiet. The APC-led federal government think they can use the court and the EFCC to persecute and prosecute Nigerians that are not in their party. If they don't stop, we are going to declare war. I won't allow anyone to criminalise me because I'm not in the APC, and I refuse to join the APC. I will not join the APC.

Today, I officially announced my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and formally declared my membership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), a party I founded and whose leadership has appointed me as its National Leader. The journey of the NDC has been long in the making, and I helped midwife the process that led to its creation. In making the decision to go with the NDC, I made it clear that Nigeria must never become a one-party state. It would have been easy for me to join the bandwagon of politicians decamping to the ruling party—the APC, but that was never an option for me. My decision is informed by a number of reasons: the APC’s abuse and disrespect of the country’s diversity, its inability to effectively manage national security, and its failure to manage the economy in a manner that protects the welfare of Nigerians, resulting in widespread hunger, poverty, and disillusionment. This is further compounded by the mismanagement of our democratic space and the rejection of electoral reforms, leaving democratic liberties under threat after twelve years in power. My decision to set up the NDC has been a painful one because of the PDP’s contribution to me, the people of Bayelsa and all Nigerians, but the reality is that we must move forward. By my nature and background, I am not a politician of convenience but one guided by conviction, principles, and values. The Nigeria Democratic Congress is a national platform for patriots committed to building a stronger, fairer, and more prosperous Nigeria. Our priorities begin with national security, ensuring the protection of lives and property through strengthened defence and security institutions; education and skills development to build human capacity and drive national progress; affordable and quality healthcare for all Nigerians; a free-market economy guided by responsible regulation and social protection; industrialisation and local production to reduce dependence on imports; modernised agriculture and food security across the value chain; empowerment and inclusion of women and youth in governance and development; true federalism and devolution of powers to strengthen states and local governments; environmental protection and remediation of degraded areas; provision of affordable housing and modern towns; Pan-Africanist foreign policy and economic diplomacy; preservation and promotion of Nigeria’s culture and heritage; expansion of national infrastructure and transportation networks; reliable and sustainable power and energy supply; reform of the public service to ensure efficiency and accountability; and large-scale employment creation across sectors to provide opportunities for all Nigerians. The NDC will promote an independent judiciary, a free and independent press and ensure the promotion and protection of democratic norms and adherence to the rule of law. It is for these reasons that I have chosen to align fully with the NDC as we work together to build a stronger, fairer, and more inclusive Nigeria. I also explained why I could not align with the African Democratic Congress (ADC). I thank the ADC leaders for not succumbing to the pressures of a one-party state, however I am yet to clearly understand their position on some of the fundamental issues and principles that I strongly stand for and believe in. Furthermore, I am not sure if the ADC is a coalition or a collision, but I hope they prove me wrong. ADC leaders are personally known to me; we interact and will continue to do so in furtherance of Nigeria’s democracy. I therefore call on all our people, and indeed all Nigerians who believe in justice, equity, and a new Nigeria, to join this movement. The NDC is a platform for all who are committed to building a nation founded on true federalism, responsible leadership, and shared prosperity for all our people. I thank all Nigerians for their prayers and support. -HSD

According to party sources, the operation was allegedly carried out on the instructions of Senator Francis Fadahunsi in an attempt to arrest the Accord candidate and intimidate him ahead of the election. The development comes days after Governor Ademola Adeleke called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to stop what he described as persecution, selective arrests, intimidation and violence against Accord members and supporters, warning against alleged plans to manipulate the forthcoming election. Reacting to the raid, Accord maintained that no amount of intimidation or harassment would change the resolve of the people, insisting that the alleged police action would not stop the party's support across Osun State. As of the time of filing this report, the Nigeria Police Force had not issued any official statement on the operation or responded to the allegations.
