APC will flush out PDP in Osun In 2026’ –APC chieftain ,Oyelude boasts
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun, Prince Oladele Oyelude, has expressed confidence in the party’s preparedness to assume leadership in 2026 in the state.
In a recent interview with journalists in Osogbo, Oyelude criticized the current administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke, citing dwindling revenue generation as evidence of ineffectiveness
Oyelude pointed out that Osun has the lowest Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) in the Southwest, with a mere 2 billion naira, despite inflation and fuel subsidy removal.
He advised Governor Adeleke to appoint capable individuals to key portfolios, suggesting that the governor might be hiding something.
The APC chieftain also berated the Commissioner for Agriculture, describing the sector as a “write-off.”
He said, “In the Agricultural sector, it’s even a write-off. I don’t even know the commissioner for agric in Osun State is. Maybe he has no idea or he should be sacked. We were shown some tractors and today no one can say those tractors are working.”
Prince Oyelude questioned the commissioner’s competence and suggested that the governor should consider replacing him.
Regarding the APC’s preparedness for the 2026 elections, Oyelude emphasized that the party is “grounded and ready” to take over.
However, he cautioned against prioritizing zoning, advocating for a credible candidate from any zone to fly the party’s flag.
“As opposition trying to take over, zone shouldn’t be our major priorities. Just look at the last elections, Southeast has been clamouring for presidency but APC and PDP did not believe they can get bulk votes from that region and Southwest favoured our party. That’s how it works.” He concluded.
