A political pressure group, G-100, has described Governor Ademola Adeleke’s re-election in Osun State as a model for opposition parties ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a statement issued on Sunday by Salihu Lukman, the group congratulated Adeleke and praised Osun voters for their determination during the governorship election.

G-100 said the significance of Adeleke’s victory went beyond his return to office, arguing that the election demonstrated what opposition parties could achieve when they put aside personal interests and unite behind a common candidate.

The group identified division among opposition parties and their leaders as their major challenge ahead of 2027, rather than a lack of public support.

It noted that some opposition candidates in Osun had stepped down and backed Adeleke, describing the decision as an example of political maturity and willingness to prioritise the wider democratic interest over individual ambitions.

G-100 therefore urged opposition leaders seeking to challenge the All Progressives Congress in 2027 to adopt the same approach at the national level.

The group stressed that no individual candidate or political party should place its interests above the country, urging opposition politicians to demonstrate courage, compromise and unity.

It said the Osun election had shown that cooperation among opposition forces could create a strong alternative to the ruling party when political leaders were willing to work together.

The statement followed the Independent National Electoral Commission’s declaration of Adeleke as the winner of the August 15 Osun governorship election. Running on the platform of the Accord Party, Adeleke defeated the APC candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, in 19 of the state’s 30 local government areas.
