…Say No Monarch Will Support Guber Candidate Outside West Zone
No fewer than 70 traditional rulers in Osun State have called on political parties to zone their 2026 governorship tickets to the Osun West Senatorial District.
Led by the Akire of Ikire-Ile, Oba Abdulazeez Adebamiji, the monarchs made the appeal in a communique issued after their meeting in Iwo on Wednesday.
Citing justice and equity, they argued that Osun West has been politically marginalized since the state’s creation.
“We implore all political parties in the state to select their governorship candidates from Osun West in the forthcoming 2026 election,” Oba Adebamiji stated while reading the communique.
“We are blessed with capable, qualified, and mentally stable individuals across the 10 local government areas that make up Osun West that can successfully steer the ship of the State.”
He stressed: “Anything short of this is clear in consideration, injustice, and marginalization of Osun West and its people.”
They noted that they are not opposed to Governor Ademola Adeleke, hence they applauded his developmental strides in the state.
It added: “However, so as not to be seen as being biased and antagonistic, we implore every registered political party in the state to shop for their gubernatorial candidates from Osun West only.
“We have resolved that no Royal Father from Osun West will mobilize his subjects for any gubernatorial candidate picked outside Osun West. This is not an empty decision. We mean what we say," he disclosed
