Osun 2026: Adeleke Charges NYSC Members on Neutrality Ahead of Governorship Election
Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has urged members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) posted to the state to remain neutral and uphold professionalism as preparations begin for the 2026 governorship election.
Governor Adeleke gave the charge while addressing corps members, stressing the need for discipline, patriotism and impartiality in the discharge of their electoral responsibilities, especially as the state moves closer to another major political contest.
The governor reminded the corps members that their role in the electoral process is critical to sustaining public confidence in democracy, urging them not to allow political pressure, financial inducement or personal bias to compromise their conduct during the governorship poll.
Adeleke noted that Osun has continued to strengthen democratic institutions and called on the corps members to contribute meaningfully by remaining law-abiding, transparent and committed to national service. He emphasized that neutrality and integrity would be essential in ensuring a peaceful and credible election in 2026.
The governor’s remarks come amid early political activities and alignments ahead of the Osun governorship election, with major political parties already intensifying consultations and grassroots mobilization across the state.
Observers say Adeleke’s warning underscores the importance of preserving the credibility of electoral officers as political tension gradually builds ahead of the 2026 governorship race.
