2027: Governor Adeleke endorses Tinubu for re-election

In a development that has stirred political debate nationwide, Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has openly declared his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.

The unexpected endorsement came shortly after a closed-door meeting between Governor Adeleke and members of the Osun State caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Addressing journalists after the meeting, Adeleke expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the discussions and took the opportunity to clarify his political stance.

While he reaffirmed his commitment to good governance and the development of Osun State, he made it clear that he believes President Tinubu deserves a second term.

He also said that the leadership of the party in the state have endorsed his second term in 2026 while also committing to supporting President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.

Adeleke also stated that the PDP in Psin recognises Tinubu as a proud son of the state.

The governor’s statement said, “Yesterday, I met with the @OfficialPDPNig Leadership Caucus in Osogbo after weeks of consultations with stakeholders across Osun — from traditional rulers and civil servants to market leaders and grassroots party members.

“I’m pleased to share the resolutions: I remain in the PDP, the party that gave me the platform to serve the good people of Osun.

“I have been unanimously endorsed by the Osun PDP for a second term in 2026.

“Our party in Osun has also endorsed President @officialABAT for re-election in 2027, recognising him as a proud son of our state.

PDP remains the most popular and trusted party across Osun State. I will continue to deliver on our Five-Point Agenda with renewed focus and dedication.

“The love and support from the people of Osun continue to inspire me. Together, we move forward,” Adeleke stated.
