INEC had on Tuesday released the final list of candidates and the parties that would partake in the 2022 Osun gubernatorial poll.

Adewusi, who is Adeleke’s running mate is a farmer who served as the chairman of Ife East Local Government Area of Osun State between 2004 to 2007.

He was also appointed as special aide to former governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola during his tenure.

Meanwhile, Adeleke said he picked Adewusi as running mate because the duo shared a common goal, which is to rescue Osun State from bad governance.
