The All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, gubernatorial candidate in Osun State, Prince Adesina Adeyemi-Doro, has disclosed that his bid to unseat the incumbent Governor, Ademola Adeleke, is driven by a commitment to responsible leadership and sustainable development, not personal rivalry.
Adeyemi-Doro, who stated this in a statement on Monday, a copy obtained in Osogbo, said Osun has enormous untapped potential that can only be realised through visionary, accountable and inclusive governance.
While acknowledging the contributions of past administrations, including the current administration, the APGA candidate, who noted that governance is a continuum, argued that the state now needs a new generation of leaders focused on competence, innovation, transparency and measurable results.
He said, “My aspiration is not about personal ambition or political rivalry. It is about public service and repositioning Osun for greater prosperity. This election should be seen as a defining moment for the future of our state, not a contest between personalities.”
He added that, “Osun people deserve better opportunities, better governance and a renewed commitment to development.”
According to Adeyemi-Doro, Osun youths need meaningful jobs, entrepreneurship support and quality education that prepares them for the modern economy.
On the economy, he identified agriculture as a key growth sector, pledging to support farmers with mechanisation, access to credit, modern techniques and partnerships to make farming profitable and sustainable.
He also promised to prioritise education and healthcare, including improved welfare for teachers, upgrade of school infrastructure, and stronger, more affordable healthcare systems across the state.
On infrastructure, Adeyemi-Doro said, “his administration would embark on comprehensive renewal of roads, schools, markets and public facilities, which he described as essential for growth and job creation.”
Further outlining his policy direction, the APGA candidate said his government would run a people-centred agenda anchored on transparency, innovation, economic prosperity, security, youth empowerment, women’s inclusion, environmental sustainability and responsible governance.
“I will govern fairly and inclusively, irrespective of party, religion, ethnicity or status. Osun’s greatness lies in the resilience, creativity and enterprise of our people. I will create an environment where every citizen can succeed,” he said.
Adeyemi-Doro urged residents to join what he described as a “movement for progress, unity and sustainable development,” saying the August 15, 2026, poll presents a choice between maintaining the status quo and embracing a future of greater possibilities.
