Adeleke’s endorsement of Tinubu: Cowardice or the sagacity of a survivor?

Social media personality Izzy Ogbeide has criticized Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke for endorsing President Bola Tinubu following his victory in the state's gubernatorial election. In a video posted on her Instagram account, Ogbeide questioned Adeleke's decision to support Tinubu, highlighting the political tensions that arose during the election.

She also raised doubts about Adeleke's earlier stance on the 2027 presidential election and his decision to thank Tinubu for the free and fair nature of the election. Ogbeide pointed out that Tinubu had sent 32 governors to Osun, referring to a social media post by Davido in which he stated he would no longer endorse any presidential candidate.

She also recalled Adeleke's criticism of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, questioning the rationale behind his decision to thank those he believed had worked against him. Ogbeide accused Adeleke of prioritizing political interests over the well-being of the people of Osun, implying that he had used them for political gain. She further questioned the alignment of Osun with Tinubu, who is not a member of Adeleke's party.
