Adeleke, the incumbent governor from the All Progressives Congress (APC), defended his record of infrastructure development, education, healthcare, and security improvements. He claimed to have constructed 350km of roads, rehabilitated 200 healthcare centers, and invested in agricultural initiatives. Oyebamiji, an investment and public finance expert from the APC, proposed prioritizing agriculture, while promising a focus on education, healthcare, and human capital development. Dr Salaam, the ADC candidate, aimed to restore previous administrations' social programs and create 20,000 jobs within his first 100 days. The election, set for August 15, has been marred by allegations of political violence, arrests, and disagreements among political factions.",
