Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has been appointed as a patron of a 335-member campaign council formed by the Accord Party House of Representatives candidate for Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency, Pelumi Olajengbesi. This development was announced by Olajengbesi in a statement on Wednesday, as the party prepares for the January 2027 election. Adeleke's involvement places him in a prominent role in the campaign, as the Accord candidate seeks to challenge the incumbent representative.
The campaign council comprises 335 members drawn from different parts of the Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency. The council is expected to coordinate Olajengbesi's campaign activities ahead of the election. The election is scheduled to take place in January 2027, with Olajengbesi seeking to represent the constituency in the House of Representatives. This move is part of the party's efforts to mobilize support across the constituency.
The incumbent representative, Oluwole Oke of the All Progressives Congress, has represented the constituency in the House of Representatives for about 24 years. Olajengbesi's candidacy under the Accord Party aims to challenge Oke's long-standing position. The Accord Party's campaign council, led by Adeleke, will focus on mobilizing support for Olajengbesi's candidacy.
Adeleke's involvement in the campaign council is significant, given his position as the Osun State governor. His leadership of the council is expected to boost Olajengbesi's campaign efforts. The development comes as political parties and candidates intensify preparations for the 2027 general elections.
The formation of the campaign council is a strategic move by Olajengbesi to ensure a well-coordinated campaign. The council will be responsible for coordinating activities aimed at securing support for his candidacy. With Adeleke at the helm, the Accord Party is expected to mount a strong challenge against the incumbent representative.
The January 2027 election will determine who represents the Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency in the next House of Representatives. Olajengbesi's campaign, led by Adeleke, will focus on mobilizing support across the constituency. The Accord Party's efforts to challenge the incumbent representative are part of the broader preparations for the 2027 general elections.
The appointment of Adeleke as a patron of the campaign council is a significant development in the run-up to the election. With a 335-member campaign council, Olajengbesi is well-positioned to mount a strong challenge against Oke. The election outcome will have implications for the representation of the Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
