Osun: It’s going to be bloody, Adeleke’s win a miracle — Rufai Oseni
Arise Television’s The Morning Show anchor, Rufai Oseni, has predicted a bloody Osun State governorship election.
He said it would be a “miracle” for Governor Ademola Adeleke to win amid what he described as the deployment of federal might.
Oseni made the remarks on Tuesday while analysing the forthcoming election.
According to him, the influence of the Federal Government would be a major factor in determining the outcome of the poll.
“Coming back to Osun elections, like I’ve been saying, the number one factor in this election is the power of federal might, and federal might has been used very well.
“That’s why I predicted it’s going to be a miracle if Adeleke passes this test because of federal might. And when I’m saying this, I’m saying this because I want the people of Osun to go out there and put their money where their mouth is,” he said.
While expressing concern over the possibility of violence during the election, Oseni alleged that people had already been injured in incidents linked to the poll.
“I’m not saying it to distract Osun people. Like I said before, this election will be very bloody. People were also hurt this morning.
“A few days to election, people were also hurt. So it’s going to be a bloody election. Pure and simple, because there are a lot of moving parts,” he added.
The broadcaster further argued that the the presence of a strong third candidate could work against Adeleke, citing previous election patterns.
“And when you check election history, any time you have a cocktail of federal might and you have a big third candidate, it doesn’t favour Adeleke,” Oseni said.

The Presidency has said that Osun State does not need an entertainer but a Chief Executive Officer, CEO, to pilot the affairs of the state and its people.
Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi, stated this in a post on X on Wednesday.

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has disclosed plans for the opposition coalition to defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, while speaking on plans for 2027 and other national issues, said discussions on building a broad opposition coalition ahead of next year’s presidential election are still open.
Abdullahi pointed out that the ADC has the conviction that only a robust and united opposition would have the political capacity to challenge President Tinubu and the ruling party.
While emphasising that the ADC was still interested in bringing opposition groups and political interests together, Abdullahi said the coalition project had not been abandoned.
“We still have not given up the possibility. Don’t forget that we started this coalition building. And we still believe that the window has not closed for the possibility of building a coalition ahead of 2027 because we believe that the opposition stands a better chance if we are all working together,” he said.
The ADC spokesman’s assertion followed the exit of Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, from the earlier coalition arrangement.
Recall that Obi and Kwankwaso, in May 2025, defected from the ADC to the NDC, citing internal crisis and court cases.
Following their departure, the ADC conducted its primary election and produced a former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, as its flagbearer and thereafter named former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, as running mate.

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has declared that nothing can stop him from winning the 2027 election because he’s full of life and energy.
Atiku said he has contested and lost presidential and governorship elections severally, like the former United States President, Abraham Lincoln.
In an interview with Jaji TV Hausa, Atiku recalled how he contested the governorship seat in Adamawa State four times but the elections were cancelled by the military administration, only for him to win at that fifth attempt.
He said: “I am fit, healthy and full of energy, nothing can stop me. Let me tell you this, long before I ever won a governorship election, I contested four times, and each time the military regimes cancelled the process.
“It was only on my fifth attempt that I succeeded and became Vice President of Nigeria. This is nothing new in politics. How many times did Abraham Lincoln lose elections before he finally became President of the United States?”
