Political activity is picking up in Osun and Ekiti as parties begin positioning for the governorship elections fixed for 2026.
The contest is already shaping into a three-way race involving the APC, PDP, and ADC.
The build-up follows the election timetable released by the Independent National Electoral Commission. Ekiti is scheduled to vote on June 20, 2026, while Osun voters will head to the polls on August 8, 2026, setting the stage for intense campaigns.
The PDP says both states remain familiar ground for the party, insisting that residents are eager for new leadership. Party officials believe public dissatisfaction with the ruling party will work in their favour when voting begins.
The ADC has also entered the conversation with confidence, saying it has gained traction in both states. Party leaders point to growing support and internal organisation, expressing optimism about a strong showing at the polls.
The APC, however, rejects claims by its rivals and maintains that it remains popular in Osun and Ekiti. Party spokesmen argue that the ruling party’s record and structure give it an edge over the opposition.
As campaigns slowly gather momentum, all sides are staking bold claims ahead of the 2026 elections. With months still ahead, Osun and Ekiti are shaping up as key battlegrounds that could test the strength of Nigeria’s major parties.
