Primate Elijah Ayodele has weighed in on the ongoing political contest in Osun State, claiming that Governor Ademola Adeleke is already ahead in the election while warning him not to become complacent.
The cleric made the statement while commenting on the political developments surrounding the Osun governorship election.
“Adeleke is already winning the election, but he should not sleep. APC has seen they are losing and are trying to do funny things,” Primate Ayodele reportedly said.
According to the cleric, Adeleke’s position appears favourable, but he urged the governor and his supporters to remain vigilant until the electoral process is concluded.
His comments come amid heightened political activity in Osun, with the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress battling for control of the state.
The allegation that APC is attempting to interfere with the process has not been independently established. It reflects Primate Ayodele’s assessment of the political situation.
The statement has generated reactions online, with supporters of Adeleke welcoming the prediction while political opponents and other observers have questioned the basis for the claim.
The Osun election has continued to attract significant attention, with political parties, candidates and supporters closely monitoring developments as voters prepare to determine the state’s next political direction.
For Adeleke’s camp, the warning is a reminder that an apparent advantage before the conclusion of an election does not guarantee victory.
Primate Ayodele’s latest prediction has therefore added another voice to the increasingly intense conversation surrounding the Osun governorship race.
