The campaign office of leading APC governorship aspirant, Kunle Rasheed Adegoke (K-Rad), was filled with energy and resolve on Saturday as he met with members of the K-RAD Vanguard, a distinct and independent organization to support his campaign movement.

Acknowledging the role of the media in nation-building, the APC hopeful emphasized its importance. “The press has always been a very strong estate, contributing to the development of a nation, and that’s why we can’t toy with the role you’ve played so far. We really appreciate you,” he said.
Reflecting on the deliberations held during the gathering, Adegoke praised the contributions of colleagues and supporters who offered strategic directions for the campaign. “You’ve shown brilliance, commitment, and demonstrated that you are worthy makers of our great state. The future of Osun rests on the shoulders of those willing to make meaningful contributions like you,” he noted.
K-Rad further encouraged steadfastness in the struggle to reclaim Osun’s leadership from the ruling PDP, stressing that APC has always been the champion of good governance in the Southwest. “We inherited the legacy of good governance from those who designed the region, the days of Chief Obafemi Awolowo and his colleagues. What we are doing here today is the origin of a future that is assured. Let’s keep the race, and our efforts shall never be in vain,” he said to thunderous applause.
The meeting ended on a high note, with K-Rad reaffirming his vision for Osun State.
