Osun Governor 1.webp
The Digest:

Amid the internal storms that reshape political futures, a key player’s ambition is cast into doubt. The Osun State chapter of the PDP has stated that Governor Ademola Adeleke may no longer be interested in the party’s nomination for the 2026 gubernatorial election, citing unresolved national crises that have disrupted primary schedules.

Key Points:
  • Osun PDP Chairman Sunday Bisi stated Governor Adeleke may not seek the party's 2026 ticket.
  • The decision is linked to unresolved national leadership crises paralyzing the party's operations.
  • Adeleke had purchased forms, been screened, and cleared for the primary before the dispute.
  • Scheduled ward and local government congresses to elect delegates could not be held.
  • The party's governorship primary, set for December 2, has been rendered impossible.
  • INEC's deadline for submitting candidate names is December 15, 2025.
  • Adeleke’s position could change only if a crisis resolution is reached within INEC's timeline.
The statement reveals ambition held hostage by institutional chaos, a stark reminder that in the political arena, even the most rooted aspirations can be uprooted by storms not of their own making.
