Babajide Omoworare, a former Senator and Senior Special Assistant to ex- President Muhammadu Buhari, has predicted that All Progressives Congress (APC) will unseat Governor Ademola Adeleke and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2026 Osun State gubernatorial election.
Speaking at the 6th Edition of the Yoruba Summit held in Osogbo, Osun State for the advancement of President Bola Tinubu’s second term, Omoworare said “In 2026, electorate will rate the Government of Governor Ademola Adeleke and they will do that by ballot.”
Omoworare, who is one of the leading gubernatorial aspirant in Osun APC, attributed the potential defeat of Adeleke’s Government to underperformance despite increased allocation from President Bola Tinubu’s reforms.

He lamented that many governors, including Adeleke, had failed to utilise the increased funding to deliver dividends of democracy to the people. He cited a nearly 300% increase in allocation to Osun State, which he claimed, had not been reflected in the lives of the people.
Omoworare urged stakeholders within the party to work assiduously to mobilise youths and new voters for the support of the party to achieve victory in 2026.
He said, “We knew how much we are taking in Osun State now, there is almost 300% increment to what we are collecting before and it is not reflecting on the streets and on the faces of the people, so we should vote out any government that is not using the money well. The states has never have it this good, this is the best allocation from the Federal Government to States.
“APC will win 2026 guber election and what we need is cooperation, collaboration and coordination, we are on ground here in Osun State, we just need to come together for victory.
“Osun state people doesn’t want charlatans in power, they want hard working leader that knows the values of everything. I will emerge as candidate of the party and I will lead our party to victory by the help of God and all the stakeholders.”
