Embracing Democracy: Osun Supporters Urged to Choose Peace Over Partisanship

​OSOGBO — In the wake of the fiercely contested 2026 Osun State governorship election, key stakeholders and loyalists have begun charting a path of unity, emphasizing that democratic choices should not breed division or animosity.

​Following the formal announcement of the election results by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)—which saw the incumbent Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, secure his re-election on the platform of the Accord Party after defeating the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO)—voices of sportsmanship have taken center stage.

​Prominent supporters of the AMBO campaign have come forward to explicitly reject political bitterness, underlining that throwing weight behind a preferred candidate is a fundamental exercise of civic duty rather than a declaration of enmity against opposing camps.

​Reflecting on the grueling campaign trail, dedicated coordinators noted that the extensive mobilization, sleepless nights, and grassroots outreach were born out of a genuine conviction in a specific vision for the state’s economic and infrastructural transformation. However, they stressed that democratic contests must ultimately yield to the collective progress of the state.

​”Politics is about choices, opinions, and convictions. Supporting a candidate does not equate to malice toward others. Now that the election is over, the priority must shift entirely to peace, stability, and collective prosperity.”

​Stakeholders across party lines are being urged to emulate this spirit of sportsmanship, putting aside partisan polarization to foster an environment conducive to development. Gratitude has also been extended to the massive voter base and dedicated volunteers who remained steadfast throughout the electoral cycle, ensuring that the democratic process remained vibrant.

​As Osun State looks ahead to the next chapter of governance, the prevailing message from political actors remains clear: fierce competition at the ballot box must transition seamlessly into a united commitment to the welfare of the citizenry.
