Four candidates from the major political parties in the state were expected at the event. They are the ruling Accord Party Candidate Ademola Adeleke; the All Progressives Congress (APC) Candidate Bola Oyebamiji; the ADC Candidate Najeem Salaam, and the African Action Congress (AAC).
Governor Adeleke started by tracing the history of his ascendance to the number one seat in the state and stated that the promises he made following the goodwill of overwhelming support he received from the electorate in 2022 have been kept.
He pointed to his achievements in infrastructure such as construction of roads and bridges. He boasted of achievements in human development and healthcare, saying Osun was growing in all indices.
For this, he said the Osun electorate would return him to the office for a second term in the August 15 election.
