20 Years of Loyalty, One Moment of Leadership — K-Rad for 2026

For over two decades, Kunle Rasheed Adegoke (K-Rad) has stood as a loyal, consistent, and dependable pillar within the All Progressives Congress (APC). His political journey is not one of sudden ambition but of steady service, sacrifice, and deep commitment to the ideals of progressive governance.

Some years back in the progressive family in Osun, K-Rad has already worked deligently privately—mobilizing support, defending the party’s values, and building bridges across communities. His loyalty to the APC has never wavered, even in trying times when others shifted allegiance.

One of the most defining moments of his political career was his decision to step down for His Excellency, Gboyega Oyetola, during the last governorship contest. K-Rad demonstrated uncommon humility and selflessness, putting the interest of the party above personal ambition. That sacrifice helped to strengthen the unity of the APC and opened way for Oyetola’s emergence as Governor. His action then was not due to weakness but as a result of his respect for party structure, discipline, and collective progress.

As the 2026 governorship election draws closer, Oyetola himself has openly declared he is not contesting again. This open space for new leadership within the APC, and K-Rad emerges as the most credible, experienced, and prepared aspirant to step into that role. Having given over 20 years of loyal service to the party and proven his readiness to place the interest of Osun people above personal gains, this make him the only suitable man for the job.

K-Rad is not only a loyal party man; but a seasoned administrator, a visionary leader, and a man of integrity. His reputation for fairness, inclusiveness, and courage makes him the right candidate to build a united APC and to deliver quality governance that will touch every corner of Osun State.

In 2026, Osun does not need experiments or self-serving leadership,but a tried and trusted son of the soil—one who paid his dues, sacrificed for the party, and now ready to transform his vision into action. This man is Kunle Rasheed Adegoke (K-Rad), the people’s choice and the leader Osun Sta

te deserves.
