Ahead of its December 15 governorship primary, the Osun State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), on Saturday, conducted its ward congresses to elect delegates that will participate in the shadow election.
Speaking with OSUN DEFENDER yesterday, Chairman, Osun ADC Directorate of Media and Publicity, Abosede Oluwaseun, said the congress was held across the 332 wards of the state.
He noted that the congress, monitored by officials from the party’s National Secretariat and officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was peaceful and hitch-free.
Oluwaseun said, “I can confirm to you that the ward congresses held yesterday (Saturday). It is in line with the timetable issued by our national headquarters in preparation for our primary coming up on Monday, December 15.
“We are getting set for the big day. The congresses took place in the 332 wards of the state. The process was peaceful and orderly. We had people from INEC and the committee sent from Abuja to monitor the process.
“Our party members showed the ethos of discipline, character and integrity that we are known for. We are optimistic that every of our activities will go on as planned.
“Our mission to reclaim the state in the 2026 governorship election is on course, and we are more than convinced that the people are going to support us,” he noted.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that a former Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly and governorship aspirant on the platform of the ADC, Dr. Najeem Salaam, had submitted his nomination form at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja, on Monday.
As at the time of filing this report, Salaam is the only aspirant who bought the party’s form to contest its ticket for the August 8, 2026 poll.
