African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and party national leader David Mark travel from Abuja to Osun State for the party’s final campaign rally ahead of the August 15, 2026 governorship election. The outlets report that the trip is part of the ADC’s push to intensify campaigning in the run-up to the vote.
Both reports say the election is scheduled for August 15, 2026, and list other major contenders, including Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party and Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress (APC), alongside ADC candidate Najeem Salam. Nigerian Eye adds that Salam previously served as Speaker from 2011 to 2015 and was re-elected in 2017, serving until 2019.
Across the two sources, the common focus is on Atiku and David Mark’s departure for Osun and the timing of the ADC’s final rally, with additional biographical detail about the ADC governorship candidate included in one outlet.
