Governor Adeleke, Osun PDP Endorse President Tinubu For Re-Election In 2027

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the state have thrown their weight behind President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid ahead of the 2027 presidential race.

Adeleke made the announcement on Tuesday through a statement posted on his X handle, after holding a key meeting with the PDP leadership in Osogbo.

According to him, the endorsement came after weeks of consultations with traditional rulers, civil servants, market leaders, and grassroots members across Osun.

He also confirmed that he would be seeking a second term in 2026 under the PDP, the party he has pledged to remain loyal to.

“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 Tinubu 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,” he wrote.

His statement puts to rest growing rumours that he might defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC), especially after his recent visit to President Tinubu.

The speculation intensified after Governor Ademola Adeleke, his brother Adedeji Adeleke, and his nephew Davido visited President Tinubu privately at his Ikoyi residence in Lagos on June 3.
