By Tunde Olamilekan

The African Democratic Congress on Monday affirmed Dr Najeem Salaam as the candidate of the party for the 2026 gubernatorial election in Osun State.

Salaam was affirmed during the primary election held in Osogbo on Monday.

Speaking after his affirmation, the former speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, said, “Osun must move from politics of punishment to politics of purpose. The African Democratic Congress offers a credible alternative, one anchored on.”

Salaam appreciated the members and leadership of the ADC for the confidence reposed in him, adding that their trust is not taken lightly.

“Today is not simply a political moment; it is a moral calling. It affirms that leadership rooted in service, conscience, and compassion can still find expression in our public life. It reminds us that hope can rise again, even after seasons of disappointment.

“I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the national and state leadership of our great party, the ADC, especially our Chairman and party executives, whose sacrifices, resilience, and organisational discipline have made this moment possible,” he added.
