Adebayo Olugbenga Adedamola, widely known as FRYO, has officially emerged as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the Osun 2026 governorship election, marking a significant political shift following recent tensions within the party.
The governorship primary, conducted on Tuesday in Osogbo amid tight security, produced a clear outcome as FRYO secured 919 votes out of 957 accredited delegates.
His commanding victory underscores the growing influence of allies linked to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde within the South-West PDP structure, especially following the controversial Ibadan convention.
In a curious twist, the name of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke appeared on the ballot despite his recent public resignation from the party. The development further highlights the administrative inconsistencies and ongoing internal turmoil within the PDP.
More details and reactions from stakeholders are expected as the political atmosphere in Osun continues to evolve.
