“THE Imole Campaign Council (TICC) has received a credible political assessment reportedly commissioned within strategic circles of the Osun APC ahead of the forthcoming governorship election in Osun State.
The political assessment conducted by independent election and voter behaviour analysts engaged to review electoral realities, public mood, voter psychology, and governance perception across Osun State, reportedly arrived at one painful conclusion for the Osun APC, that Governor Ademola Adeleke is heading towards a massive and decisive re-election victory.
According to findings contained in the assessment, Governor Ademola Adeleke currently enjoys unprecedented public acceptance cutting across civil servants, pensioners, market women, artisans, transport workers, youths, students, professionals, traditional communities, grassroots political stakeholders, and even sections of previously neutral voting blocs across the State.
The report allegedly projected that Governor Adeleke presently commands well above 72 percent public support ahead of the Osun APC and its candidate, with strong indications that the margin may still widen further as the election approaches.
More significantly, the political assessment reportedly advised sections of the APC leadership against reckless financial deployment into the election on the grounds that public dissatisfaction against the APC remains deeply rooted while Governor Adeleke’s popularity continues to rise steadily due to visible governance outcomes across Osun State.
The report was also said to have acknowledged that Governor Adeleke’s administration has fundamentally altered political perception within Osun State through aggressive infrastructure development, payment of inherited salary obligations, workers’ welfare reforms, educational interventions, healthcare improvements, agricultural support initiatives, rural development projects, and prudent management of public resources.
Perhaps most devastating for the Osun APC was the reported conclusion that many Osun voters now see Governor Ademola Adeleke as more connected to the realities of ordinary citizens compared to the APC, which continues to struggle under the burden of its past record in government.
TICC notes that this growing electoral reality may explain the increasing panic, confusion, frustration, and reckless conduct now being displayed by desperate elements within the Osun APC.
Having allegedly realised internally that the election is gradually slipping beyond political recovery, the APC has now resorted increasingly to propaganda, blackmail, violence, vandalism, lawlessness, and reckless political conduct capable of threatening public peace and democratic order in Osun State.
Across several local government areas, disturbing reports continue to emerge concerning attacks on campaign materials, politically motivated violence, destruction of properties, coordinated misinformation campaigns, and desperate attempts to create tension within the political environment.
The people of Osun State, however, are politically conscious and fully capable of distinguishing between governance and propaganda, performance and deception, leadership and desperation.
Governor Ademola Adeleke remains focused on governance and service delivery to the people. No amount of panic, violence, or orchestrated propaganda can erase the visible realities of development currently taking place across Osun State.
The people have seen performance. The people have seen leadership. The people have already made up their minds.
We therefore urge security agencies, election observers, civil society organisations, and all democratic stakeholders to closely monitor the activities of desperate political actors whose conduct now increasingly poses concerns for public peace and democratic stability within Osun State.
“Osun people will continue to defend democracy peacefully, lawfully, and decisively at the polls,” Pelumi Olajengbesi, Esq. (Spokesperson
