Osun 2026: I’m a bulldozer, not afraid of FG, governors’ influence — Adeleke + Video

Osun State Governor and Accord Party candidate, Ademola Adeleke, has declared himself a “bulldozer” who is completely unafraid of the Federal Government’s “might” or the influx of All Progressives Congress (APC) governors deployed to support his main opponent, Bola Oyebamiji, ahead of the Saturday governorship election.

Governor Adeleke made these remarks on Tuesday during the Arise News Townhall Meeting.

He dismissed the APC’s heavy political mobilization, stating, “I am a bulldozer. I am not afraid of federal might and governors backing the APC candidate. If they like, they should bring all the governors.”

Adeleke further claimed that the governors were his friends and expressed confidence that their presence in Osun would not determine the outcome of the election.

“Those governors are my friends. I am a civilised administrator. They won’t vote; they can only come and dance, and after the election, we will meet,” he said.

The governor also rejected allegations that his administration had militarised Osun State, saying he lacked the authority to deploy the armed forces.

“I did not militarise Osun. I have no such capacity. I am not the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces,” he said.

His comments came amid heightened political activities ahead of the Osun governorship election, with the major political parties intensifying their campaigns and mobilisation across the state.
