A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dele Momodu, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of turning Osun State into a theatre of war.

This was as he called on all opposition parties in the state to back the re-election campaign of incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke.

Momodu said this on social media as Osun citizens head to the polls to elect a new governor on August 15, 2026,

He wrote on X, "It would be foolhardy not to see that with the manner APC has turned OSUN State into a theatre of war, the only sensible STRATEGY is for all opposition parties to align immediately and back the ACCORD party candidate GOVERNOR ADEMOLA ADELEKE. I make this declaration without equivocation, or any fear of contradiction. This is not based on friendship or family ties.

"Governor Adeleke has been a global phenomenon who would easily defeat President Tinubu himself in a popularity contest. Adeleke is primus inter pares amongst Nigerian Governors, in order of extraordinary performance in infrastructure, health, education, staff welfare, labour unions, IGR, agriculture, commerce, culture, women empowerment, youth integration, etc. We should never supply the APC an easy alibi to rig the OSUN gubernatorial election on August 15, 2026."
