Adeleke knows that n that's y he's jittery


He intentionally gave d state to Atiku in d last election n blocked all APC logistics to the extent that he locked all campaign venues of APC n in the course of APC moving from one closed venue to another, they had accident n 29 people died.


Adeleke knew he won't b forgiven n that's y he's running to Tinubu but it's too late to cry when the head is down

Oyetola is not just watching, he wants to bring APC back to power in Osun, and with APC's strong and Tinubu working hard as president, the party is really trying to make life better for everyone.

Yinmu! You're waiting for your cousin Tinubu to rig you back to office

It’s good to see key APC figures like Oyetola reaffirming commitment to the party’s future in Osun. Unity is definitely going to be crucial if APC wants to reclaim power in 2026. Also great to see women groups like Iron Ladies stepping up politically — their influence and can make a real difference. Let’s hope all this momentum leads to real development for the people Asap

Adeleke will defect before then nor worry

Politics money too sweet you. Go and work!

same u that is from the east


Don't worry

U can only wail


Davido go cry tire on twitter

Maybe after Adeleke Sha....but for now jst enjoy your ministry oh....

He won't be the one...
He knew tinubu is there to strengthen his party. Na to be on top news the guy dey do.

Even Adeleke knows what is at stake hence the visit.

He couldn't even return himself. Charlatans

Press9jatv don use him other to post his osun thingy as usual .

Adeleke. Lekan si 💯💯💯💯

OboOlora:

Adeleke will defect before then nor worry

he dare not do that, he made APC lose over 29 to accident in d last election cos he changed their campaign venue 4 times in just one day n he changed it to extreme ends of the states.


He really do them strong thing, he arrested key APC ers n locked them up till after election, like seriously Adeleke won't even dare talk about leaving PDP cos APC will just accept him n give the ticket to oyetola n he won't b able to contest.


U don't understand politics

Even though I am not from Osun state but I am Adeleke er it unequivocal to state that Adeleke is living in fear of the unknown. Referential to his nephew constant visit to Tinubu as well the recent visit made by his brother and himself to the president shows that the governor is jittery and sheepishly looking for a saving grace! But the big question is that with the politics of no permanent friend but permanent interest play its card? Will Tinubu playing to the aforementioned not going to be a rebuttal as well as a grandeur betrayal to his own nephew Ggoyega?

if u follow osun politics then u will know Adeleke is gone, he himself knows he messed up.

Nobody stop him from ing atiku in d last election but adeleke went to the extreme by doing the unthinkable.

He wasn't wise to play smart that anyone could win, he so much believed atiku will win so he was ruthless without remorse but now he's stranded.

Tinubu won n not only that PDP in osun state is in disarray cos virtually all PDP have moved to APC n Aregbesola that was pushing him then is now politically irrelevant.

He miscalculated a lot n right now he dare not move to APC, if he tries that it's political suicide cos they will accept him n tell everyone to go to primary.

That's where he will lose n won't b able to contest in another party

Apc is a nonsense party ? How do you intend to take Osun for APC ?

Na only you go vote? Even your own election , you have to grab it by inconclusive method.

Osun state is one interesting state in the SW. And all this is happening because of Aregbesola greediness and shortsightedness.

Sir, can you tell us how Oyetola made life easy for people of osun during his tenure?

funny loser. I told you last year that APC will form next government in Osun State. Stick to my wall here. Oyetola will be re-elected back.

Adeleke is a goner, August 8th, 2026 must Obey 🙏

Is he banking on the remote control of Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Crooks, APC for votes like they did in Edo recently

Buhari reveals how APC won Osun governorship with ‘remote control’

President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, while appealing to traditional rulers in Osun State to his reelection to enable his istration consolidate on its achievements, revealed that APC was able to win the state’s governorship election held months back with the aid of remove control.

Buhari, who failed to provide details of what he meant by remote control, said: “I know how much trouble we had in the last election here. I know by remote control through so many sources how we managed to maintain the party (APC) in power in this state.”

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this istration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

Effort in futility .What tangible project did he execute when he was a governor

Only by rigging APC will come back to power if not osun people are enjoy the governor works

Ah ah. Human beings sha. This is the Oyetola that reduced workers salary by half. You know the meaning of that? He cared less about your existence.

Nigerian politicians don’t give a damn about the people or the collapsing economy.

Their only obsession is grabbing and clinging to power by any means necessary.

No vision, no plan, no shame—just a greedy, ruthless scramble for control while the country bleeds.

They treat leadership like a personal inheritance, not a responsibility. It’s never about fixing Nigeria—only about feeding their egos and fattening their pockets.

Rubb1sh talk from a light weight politician

you don change to another Monika Mr OSUN man

Will you just keep quiet. Shameless tyrant. The incumbent Governor though lacking in character like you has somehow managed to touch the lives of the people on the streets in Osun State. Though you had the assistance of incumbency you ran for Governorship against the prodigal and unlettered black sheep of a family and lost! That should tell you something if you were not hard of hearing and far removed from what the common man in Osun State wanted. Ordinary roads you no fit tar! Yeye dey smell!!!
