The political atmosphere in Osun State is beginning to heat up ahead of the 2026 gubernatorial election, with strong indications that Alhaji Moshood Adeoti may emerge as a key contender under the banner of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Backed by former governor Rauf Aregbesola, Adeoti’s anticipated candidacy signals a bold new chapter in the state’s evolving political narrative.
Sources close to the Aregbesola camp suggest that the move to present Adeoti is not only strategic but also a deliberate step to reposition Aregbesola’s political influence in the state, with the former governor reportedly exploring viable platforms beyond the All Progressives Congress (APC), the ADC appears to be the leading option offering a credible and independent base from which Adeoti can launch his bid.
This development also underscores a growing rift between Aregbesola and the current PDP-led administration under Governor Ademola Adeleke, while the two political figures were perceived to have found common ground during the 2022 election cycle, it has become increasingly evident that the relationship has since deteriorated.
By rallying behind Adeoti, Aregbesola not only reasserts his political relevance but also sets the stage for a potentially competitive race in 2026.
The emergence of ADC as a viable third force could reshape political alignments and offer Osun voters a compelling alternative in a state long dominated by two major parties.
As the months unfold, all eyes will be on Moshood Adeoti and the ADC, whose growing momentum may soon redefine the stakes and strategies in Osun’s political landscape.
