African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain Dele Momodu endorses Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke for a second term in the August 15, 2026 governorship election. In a post on his verified X account on Tuesday, Momodu argues that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has turned the state into a “theater of war,” and he calls for opposition parties to unite rather than contest against each other.
Momodu says the “sensible strategy” is for opposition parties to align immediately and support Adeleke, who is seeking re-election on the Accord Party platform. He characterizes Adeleke as a top-performing governor across areas such as infrastructure, health, education, staff welfare, and labour issues, among others. Momodu also states his endorsement is not based on personal ties and urges opponents to avoid an outcome that could enable electoral rigging. The two outlets largely repeat the same statements and framing, presenting Momodu’s endorsement as a political call for opposition unity behind the incumbent.
