GOVERNOR ADELEKE BACKS TINUBU FOR 2027, SAYS HE’S STILL LOYAL TO PDP
Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has publicly endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term in office ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Adeleke revealed that the endorsement came after a meeting with leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State. Despite backing Tinubu, who is a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Adeleke clarified that he remains fully committed to the PDP and has no plans to defect.
The governor said he has also secured the full support of the Osun PDP to run for a second term in 2026.
“Yesterday, I met with the PDP 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,” he said.
“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. PDP remains the most popular and trusted party across Osun State.”
Governor Adeleke praised President Tinubu as “a proud son of our state” and said the Osun PDP stands behind his re-election bid in 2027.
He also pledged to continue delivering on his administration’s Five-Point Agenda with “renewed focus and dedication,” noting that the people’s love and support keep him motivated.
