If You Know You Can Win, Why Destroy My Billboards? — Adeleke
The more they hurt us, the more people love us. When they go low, we go high. I’m always preaching for free and fair election, because I know what is called democracy. It is Osun people that will decide.

12 Years Of APC’s Administration Has Caused Osun State Nothing But Pain — Adeleke
I came in and started paying up salaries they left unpaid. Citizens had been receiving half salaries from past administrations.
On the roads, I use certified engineers, I used Nigerian engineers, and we invited an international engineer. I don’t do substandard things, it is a sin. All the beautiful roads we have done have been certified.

𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗯𝘂 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 Not Allow Oyetola Set Osun on Fire
At the campaign rally today in Olorunda local government area, I appealed directly to Mr. President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; Osun is bleeding, and our people will not be intimidated. His intervention is needed, the loss of innocent lives in Osun must stop. All we are asking for is simply a free and fair election.
Mr. President must act as the father of this nation and help safeguard the democracy he fought for. I reminded the President that the 2027 general elections are also around the corner, and he should not allow his nephew, Mr. Oyetola, the Minister for Marine and Blue Economy, to ruin his name and the democracy he fought along with many others
It is our collective prayer that as a country, may we never witness such incident as the political violence of 1983 particularly in the southwest. Democracy works when the people freely chose their leaders, a demand not too much for citizen of Osun State to make.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has assured Osun residents of a credible and peaceful governorship election on August 15, warning that anyone involved in vote buying, electoral violence or attempts to disrupt the poll will face the full weight of the law.
The event, organised by the National Peace Committee, brought together political party leaders, security agencies, traditional rulers and other stakeholders to reinforce their commitment to peaceful, free and credible elections in the state.
INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan (SAN), gave the assurance on Thursday at the signing of the Osun State Peace Accord in Osogbo, where political parties contesting the election pledged to conduct peaceful campaigns and abide by the outcome of the poll
According to him, seven out of the nine scheduled electoral activities had already been completed, while the remaining milestones include the conclusion of campaigns on August 13 and the governorship election on August 15.
Amupitan disclosed that over 2.3 million registered voters are expected to participate in the election, adding that the commission had extended the collection of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) until July 31 to improve voter participation.
“I am looking around, between you and me, where will Obi’s vote come from? I can’t see it. Where will Atiku’s vote come from?
“The 2027 election is a coronation, not an election based on demographic calculations.”
