The Nigerian National Peoples Party (NNPP) in Osun State is gearing up for the upcoming gubernatorial election, set to take place on August 8, 2026. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) recently announced the election date, sparking anticipation and excitement within the political landscape of the state.
Dr. Tosin Odeyemi, the state chairman of NNPP, expressed the party’s eagerness to challenge the current administration led by Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Odeyemi criticized the PDP government for allegedly relying on propaganda as a governing strategy in Osun State. In a bold statement, he declared,
“Our party will start touring every ward in Osun State to educate citizens on voting based on conscience rather than emotions.”
As preparations intensify, NNPP opens its doors to individuals with genuine intentions of leading Osun State towards progress. Odeyemi emphasized equality among members and welcomed collaboration with other parties committed to steering the state away from what he described as a regime of nepotism. He added,
“The upcoming gubernatorial election in 2026 will be an unprecedented and intriguing contest unlike anything we’ve seen before in our state.”
In a plea to fellow political actors, Odeyemi urged for fair play and warned against any actions that could destabilize the state for personal gain. Maintaining integrity throughout the electoral process was highlighted as crucial for a democratic and peaceful transition of power.
Prof. Mahmood Yakubu announced the scheduled dates for both Ekiti and Osun elections during his address at the swearing-in ceremony of newly appointed Resident Electoral Commissioners.

Expert analysts foresee a highly competitive race characterized by shifting alliances, strategic maneuvering, and intense public scrutiny. The electorate eagerly anticipates witnessing how each candidate articulates their vision for governance and addresses critical issues facing Osun State.
As political stakeholders gear up for this momentous event, all eyes are on Osun State as it prepares to make a pivotal decision that will shape its future trajectory. With democracy at its core, this electoral process signals not just a change in leadership but also an opportunity for citizens to actively participate in shaping their collective destiny through their votes.
