TUNDE ADELEKE, Osogbo

A Real estate developer, Adewale Adebayo, has emerged as the Osun State gubernatorial candidate of Allied Peoples Movement(APM) for the 2026 election.

The Chairman of the APM Primary Committee, Idowu Babarinde, rectified Adebayo following his presentation as the sole aspirant for the ticket at the State Secretariat, Ogo-Oluwa, Osogbo.

The APM Primary committee chair, Babarinde, said, commended the National Working Committee(NWC) of the party for providing support and also tasked members of the party to unite ahead of the poll.

He said, “The mode of primary adopted for today’s exercise is affirmation of the consensus candidate which Hon. Adewale Adebayo emerged as the party’s candidate from a fair and credible process.”

In his acceptance speech, Adebayo expressed confidence of winning the gubernatorial race fixed for August 8th 2026.

He said, “Today marks the beginning of APM’s unstoppable march to Bola Ige House in 2026. This endorsement is not about me; it is about all of us, united, focused, and ready to turn our vision for Osun into reality.”

He stated that “APM is not just a party, we are a movement. A movement of the people, by the people, and for the people. We are here to restore good governance, rebuild trust, and revive Osun’s foundations as we are on a mission to rescue Osun from failing leadership.

“The current government has failed. Public trust is gone. Promises are empty. The people are tired. The same way the PDP failed Governor Adeleke, Osun will do the same for him for his re-election bid come August 8th, 2026. APM is ready to send him back where he belongs.”

He commended the APM Primary Election Committee, led by Hon. Babarinde Nurudeen Idowu, saying “The process was transparent, credible, and peaceful.”
