Ahead of Saturday’s governorship election, the three leading candidates in the poll have intensified their campaigns as they seek to secure victory.
The incumbent Governor, Ademola Adeleke, who is running on the platform of the Accord Party; the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Oyebamiji; and Dr Najeem Salaam of the African Democratic Congress have been running neck-and-neck, consolidating their holds on their respective strongholds while wooing power brokers in local government areas where they have weaker campaign structures.
All three leading candidates hail from Osun West Senatorial District, with Adeleke and Salaam coming from the Ede North/Ede South/Egbedore/Ejigbo Federal Constituency.
Oyebamiji, the APC candidate, hails from the Irewole/Isokan/Ayedaade Federal Constituency.
After almost four years in office, Adeleke has been using projects executed by his administration as a bargaining chip across the local government areas of the state.
