Summary created with AI assistance · Source: premiumtimesng.com
- The three main contenders are incumbent Ademola Adeleke of Accord, APC candidate Bola Oyebamiji and ADC candidate Najeem Salaam.
- Control of the 30 local governments remains disputed, although many observers believe the APC currently controls them, while an NURTW faction sympathetic to the party controls the motor parks.
- Police have deployed 15,000 officers, barred Amotekun and other paramilitary units from election duty, and denied allegations of intimidation made by Adeleke supporters.
- The analysis currently gives Adeleke a slight advantage, while opposition vote fragmentation and results in Osogbo and Olorunda could prove decisive.
Governor Adeleke is confused; that is why he is shouting about rigging. We are not like them in 2022 when they rigged the APC out through internal sabotage. This time, he should know that the people of Osun are the ones who will vote for APC and send him packing on August 15.— Bola Oyebamiji, APC candidate for Osun governorship, commenting on the 2022 rigging allegations and the upcoming August 15 election.
