He noted that the governor met all the necessary requirements for nomination and participation, adding that the committee had cleared him as the sole aspirant for the party’s governorship ticket and completed all required documentation with relevant bodies.

The statement added that the committee presented Adeleke with a certificate of clearance and described him as a worthy governorship aspirant.

Adeleke expressed appreciation to the screening committee and the entire party leadership, noting his preparedness to lead the party to victory in 2026.

“I am ready for the governorship election. We are winning by God’s grace,” the governor said.
