A prominent sociopolitical organisation has formally endorsed Gov. Ademola Nurudeen Adeleke ahead of the 2026 Osun State governorship election, signalling early momentum for his bid to secure a second term in office. The endorsement was announced on Sunday, January 4, 2026, by the Mission 90 Million Congress of Nigeria, which commended Adeleke’s performance and urged citizens to rally behind his re-election campaign.
In its public statement, the group highlighted Governor Adeleke’s achievements since taking office particularly in infrastructure development, salary payment, and social programmes asserting that continuity of governance would further consolidate progress across the state. The Mission 90 Million Congress described the governor’s leadership as transformative and positioned him as the best candidate to sustain Osun’s developmental trajectory through the August 2026 polls.
The endorsement adds to a series of supportive signals from various quarters of Osun’s political landscape. Recent weeks have seen labour leaders from unions across the state endorse Adeleke’s Accord Party platform, emphasising their belief in his commitment to workers’ welfare and inclusive governance.
Adeleke’s political journey to the 2026 election has been dynamic; after defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Accord Party, he secured the latter’s governorship ticket, positioning himself as its standard-bearer for the upcoming race. Observers note that his cross-party appeal and ground mobilisation remain key factors shaping the evolving contest in Osun State.
As the political season unfolds, endorsements such as this one are expected to heighten competition among contenders and sharpen campaign narratives ahead of the formal election period.
