The Inter-Party Advisory Council, IPAC, Osun State Chapter, has congratulated Senator Ademola Adeleke on his re-election as Governor of Osun State in the August 15, 2026 governorship election.
IPAC, in a congratulatory statement on Monday, signed by the state chairman, Dr Tosin Odeyemi of the Democratic Leadership Alliance, also commended the people of Osun for trooping out en masse to exercise their franchise peacefully.
Similarly, the political party leaders also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, security agencies, the media, civil society, and all stakeholders for ensuring that the will of the people was largely reflected in the outcome of the election.
IPAC stated that the result of the poll showed people’s endorsement of Adeleke’s first-term programmes and a renewed trust in the future.
“We recognise that such confidence comes with greater responsibility to serve all citizens without discrimination. As a council of political parties, we urge Your Excellency to run an all-inclusive government in this second term.
“Governance should transcend party lines. The talents, ideas and goodwill in the opposition and among technocrats, women, youths, persons with disabilities and traditional institutions must be harnessed for the good of Osun,” the statement noted.
IPAC advised that appointments, projects and policies be spread equitably across the three senatorial districts and the 30 Local Government Areas, including the Area Office.
According to the group, “No community should feel left out. When everyone has a sense of belonging, peace and development will be faster and more sustainable.”
IPAC also urged the governor not to abandon governance, as it is often the case with some second-term governors.

“History shows that the temptation to slow down after re-election can erode the gains of a first term. We encourage you to see this period as an opportunity to finish strong, consolidate on existing projects, and initiate new ones that will outlive your administration.
“The people expect improved delivery in critical sectors such as education, health, agriculture, infrastructure, youth employment and social welfare,” the statement stated.
IPAC pledged its readiness to play the role of constructive opposition and partner in progress, adding that criticism will be issue-based, and support will be given where policies align with the interests of Osun people.
