In a significant turn of events just hours before the Osun State governorship election, Adebayo Simon Adewale, the candidate for the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), has decided to withdraw from the race and throw his support behind the current Governor, Ademola Adeleke.
Adewale made this announcement after discussions with party leaders, supporters, and other key figures, emphasizing that his choice was not influenced by any external pressure or personal motives.
He stated that this decision was made with the best interests of Osun State and its residents in mind.
The former APM candidate expressed his belief that Governor Adeleke deserves another term to build on his administration’s achievements.
Adewale is now urging his supporters, members of the Allied Peoples Movement, and voters throughout Osun State to rally behind Adeleke in the upcoming governorship election on Saturday.
This development comes at a pivotal moment in the election race, as political parties finalize their strategies ahead of the August 15 governorship election.
Adeleke is campaigning for re-election under the Accord Party banner, with voters across Osun State preparing to choose their leader for the next four years.
