He Can’t Stand the Governor!” – Adeleke Camp Labels Oyetola the Weakest 2026 Candidate

Published

The Special Adviser on Political Matters to Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, Muniru Raji, has branded former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola as the “easiest opponent to defeat” ahead of the 2026 governorship race in Osun.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Speaking on the Lero Temi podcast in Osogbo, Raji dismissed any doubts about Adeleke’s chances of re‑election, confidently declaring that the governor would “soundly defeat Oyetola again” if he emerges as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate.

“Adegboyega Oyetola is the easiest candidate to defeat in any gubernatorial election. If the APC fields him again, I assure you Governor Adeleke will defeat him soundly, just like in 2022,” Raji said.

Raji, who is Adeleke’s close aide, waved off speculation that Adeleke might defect to the APC after endorsing President Bola Tinubu for a second term in 2027.

“Adeleke will contest under the PDP in 2026. He hasn’t met with any APC members. There is no defection plan. Adeleke remains in the PDP,” he affirmed.

He also addressed concerns over the PDP’s internal issues, particularly the controversy surrounding the National Secretary’s office, explaining that the matter had been resolved in line with the candidate recognised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

On recent defections of some political appointees, Raji insisted they posed no threat to Adeleke’s re‑election bid:

“Defections are normal. When Adeleke became governor, the PDP had no elected office holder; it was the APC that had them. The strength of the PDP lies in the people, and they have been with Adeleke since 2018, in 2022, and even now as we look to 2026.”

Raji further clarified that while Adeleke and the Osun PDP would remain in the party, they intend to support President Tinubu’s 2027 bid for regional reasons:

“In 2027, Adeleke and the PDP will vote for Tinubu as President because he’s a Yoruba man from the South, especially as his northern support base appears to be waning,” Raji explained.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.

Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.

“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.

He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”

Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.

He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.

In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
