Speaking at the event, the music star's wife explained that her decision to join the race was driven by her passion for service and desire to represent the interests of the people.
According to her, she has always been close to grassroots communities and wants to amplify their voices at the national level.
“I am a people-oriented person. I love to be with people, to represent them, and to speak on their behalf. That is the motivation behind this ambition,” she said.
She also promised to promote inclusive governance, gender balance, and integrity if elected to the National Assembly.
Adelakun further assured supporters that her humanitarian activities would continue even as she pursues public office.
She noted that women and the girl-child would remain central to her agenda.
“I am a natural giver. Even before deciding to contest, I have always supported people. My care for women and the girl-child will continue because they remain a priority,” she added.
Reacting to the declaration, Oyo State APC Women Leader Felicia Opatunde described Adelakun’s ambition as a positive step for women’s participation in politics.
She noted that increased female representation would strengthen democracy and improve governance.
“For a long time, women have been marginalised. More women coming out to contest is encouraging and good for our democracy,” Opatunde said.
She also urged eligible voters to register and participate in the electoral process, while calling on women across the state to mobilise support.
