Omisore, who once served as Deputy Governor of the state, made this known on Wednesday while hosting a delegation of women leaders, special advisers and special assistants drawn from the three senatorial districts of Osun.
The seasoned politician, who boasts over 32 years of active political experience, said he possesses the structures, capacity and vision needed to tackle the myriad of challenges confronting the state. His campaign theme, “Osun Rescue Mission 2026”, he noted, reflects his cultural, political and intellectual grounding to deliver purposeful governance.
“I know the right paths to take in order to move Osun State forward in all ramifications,” Omisore affirmed, while promising inclusive governance that prioritises women.
He assured the gathering of more than 138 women leaders representing all local government areas and the area office that women would occupy a central place in his administration if elected.
Speaking atthe event, former Commissioner for Education under Governor Gboyega Oyetola’s administration, Hon. Folorunso Oladoyin Bamisaye, urged women to set aside sentiment and rally behind Omisore, stressing that grassroots mobilisation would be key to defeating the incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Also lending his voice, Hon. Ajibola Famurewa called for massive support for Omisore, insisting that with the right political backing, the state would witness transformative development and become “the Mecca of our dreams.”
It would be recalled that several APC elected chairmen and councillors had earlier endorsed Omisore as their preferred governorship candidate ahead of the 2026 election. Similarly, local government party and ward chairmen have not only thrown their weight behind him but have also been appointed as coordinators in preparation for the party primaries.
At these series of stakeholder engagements and consultations, supporters consistently highlighted Omisore’s pedigree, loyalty to the APC and unwavering commitment to development as the basis for their endorsement.
With growing momentum across the state, Omisore’s Osun Rescue Mission 2026 is fast shaping into a formidable campaign, one that could redefine the political landscape of the state in the coming election year.
