As Osun State approaches another decisive election cycle, the choice before the people is not just about continuity—but about competence, credibility, and a clear vision for sustainable development.
While the incumbent, Ademola Adeleke, benefits from the advantages of office, many voters are beginning to question whether current projects truly reflect value for money or long-term economic impact. Infrastructure is important, but roads and bridges alone cannot secure the future of Osun without parallel growth in jobs, economic empowerment, and youth development.
On the other hand, the APC candidate faces skepticism among voters who remain concerned about the legacy of past governance under Gboyega Oyetola. Many believe that Osun cannot afford a return to policies that did not fully meet public expectations.
This is where Najeem Salam of the ADC stands apart.
Backed by the reform-driven legacy of Rauf Aregbesola, widely regarded by many as a transformative figure in Osun’s development—particularly in infrastructure, education, and social programs—Najeem Salam represents continuity of tested ideas with a renewed vision for progress.
Osun voters remember the era of bold reforms, cultural revitalization, and structured development. Today, there is a growing belief that Najeem Salam can build on that foundation—delivering not just infrastructure, but also economic expansion, job creation, and inclusive governance.
This election is not about personalities.
It is about performance.
It is about the future.
Osun needs leadership that will go beyond surface achievements and deliver real economic transformation.
The choice is clear: Experience. Vision. Results.
The choice is Najeem Salam
