The political structure of Senator Iyiola Omisore across Osun State has resolved to stand firmly in support of the re-election bid of Governor Ademola Adeleke.

In a statement on Wednesday, Omisore revealed that the decision is in the interest of Osun State, its people, and the continued pursuit of unity, progress, and good governance.

“As we move toward the August 15 gubernatorial election, our position is clear, our structure is united, and our support is total.
Osun is moving forward,” he said.

Meanwhile, Adeleke has flagged off his re-election campaign ahead of the forthcoming August 15 gubernatorial poll, declaring that he would not succumb to the forces of darkness and intimidation.

The flag-off, held at the popular Freedom Park in Osogbo, attracted a mammoth crowd of supporters, stakeholders, and chieftains of the Accord Party, during which some Omisore loyalists officially decamped to the ruling party.

Speaking at the event, Adeleke restated that despite Monday’s Federal High Court ruling, which ordered the de-registration of African Democratic Congress (ADC), Accord Party and a few other political parties, his party (Accord) will be on the ballot during the August 15 governorship poll and 2027 general election.

According to Adeleke, “Let me start by assuring you all – Accord will be on the ballot; your votes will count; and I will be re-elected as your governor on August 15th. All lawful means are being deployed to sustain and retain our rights to vote and be voted for. We will not bow to dark forces; we remain courageous, and we shall again be victorious by the special grace of God.

“I charge you to hold your head high. There should be no dull moments. From this assembly for democracy, the light of good governance must continue to spread to all corners of Osun state.

“Go out to all voting units, mobilise for the Accord. Our party remains a duly registered political party in this country.
Rule of law must prevail. Democracy must survive,“ he stated.
