dream of becoming the next governor more popular by the day
Ajibola Basiru’s bid to become the next governor of Osun State is getting more popular by the day. Many people are talking about why his campaign is gaining ground and support.
On top of the list is his rich political experience. Basiru served as a Commissioner in Osun State during Rauf Aregbesola’s time as governor, where he worked in Regional Integration and as Attorney General. He was also a senator for Osun Central and is now the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC). His long time in politics shows that he knows how government works and how to get things done.
Basiru is also working hard to connect with people across the state. He started something called the “Alubarika Movement,” which helps him reach out to voters in every local government and community. This movement makes sure that he has strong support from the grassroots.
Another reason people like his ambition is because he is from Osogbo, the state capital. Many people from Osogbo believe it is time for one of their own to become governor, since no one from there has held the position before. This gives him strong support from his hometown and surrounding areas.
Basiru is also known for talking about the problems he sees with the current government. He often points out what he thinks is not going well under Governor Ademola Adeleke and suggests ways to make things better. This makes people see him as someone who can bring positive change.
Adeleke is governing the state on the platform of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Lastly, Basiru is trying to unite his party, the APC, which has had some disagreements among its members. He is working hard to bring everyone together so that the party can be strong and ready for the election. Many people see him as a leader who can unite the party and lead Osun State forward.
These reasons combine to make Ajibola Basiru’s dream of becoming the next governor more popular by the day.
The Osun state gubernatorial election comes up in 2026, with political parties yet to pick their candidates.
