Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has congratulated Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke on his re-election following the 15 August 2026 governorship election.
In a post on X on Sunday, Atiku, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, said the result reflected the will of the people of Osun as expressed at the ballot box.
“I congratulate Governor Ademola Adeleke, @AAdeleke_01 , on his re-election as Governor of Osun State. His victory demonstrates the choice of the people of Osun as expressed at the ballot box. I commend the people for their passion and peaceful participation. I wish Governor Adeleke continued success as he continues to serve them. -AA #osundecides2026,” he wrote.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had earlier declared Adeleke, the Accord Party candidate, the winner.
He secured 511,067 votes to defeat APC’s Bola Oyebamiji, who polled 444,815 votes, winning in 19 of the state’s 30 local government areas.
