The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has commenced its door-to-door campaign in Osogbo Local Government as part of intensified grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2026 governorship election in Osun State.

The campaign was formally launched at a rally last Thursday, which attracted a large turnout of party members and supporters, signalling the party’s push to consolidate its presence at the grassroots.

Among party leaders in attendance were Baba Sakariyahu Uthman Oyedeji (Mabrow), Mrs. Sewande Agbaje, the Osun Central Campaign Chairman for Najeem Folasayo Salaam, Hon. Abdulakeem Olaoye Otaoroju, Hon. Bamidele Kamarudeen Olusola (Dekam), Hon. Jasuyi Moses (Moscow), Alhaji Isa Idowu Moruf (Hadji Murphy), Baba Atanda Rauf (Akins), and Hon. Aresa Kehinde Adeniyi.

Also present were party executives led by Hon. Azeez Adekunle (Adex), alongside several aspirants seeking elective positions under the party’s platform.

Speaking at the event, Hon. Akeem Otaoroju urged members to remain committed and intensify the door-to-door campaign strategy to ensure victory for the party in Osogbo and across the state.

In an interview, Tiamiyu Idris Akanbi, an aspirant for the Osogbo State Constituency in the Osun State House of Assembly, welcomed the recent Supreme Court judgement affirming the party’s authentic national leadership.

He described the verdict as a major boost for the ADC and used the opportunity to canvass support for Salaam’s governorship ambition.

“The one competent and reliable candidate out of the major contenders is our party candidate, Dr. Najeem Folasayo Salaam. He is well learned, experienced in leadership, and ready to restore good governance in Osun State,” he said.

Akanbi further called on residents of Osogbo to rally behind the ADC, expressing confidence in the party’s capacity to deliver dividends of democracy.

The launch of the door-to-door campaign underscores the ADC’s strategy to strengthen grassroots engagement and expand its support base as political activities gather momentum ahead of the 2026 election.
