A group has petitioned President Bola Tinubu, criticising Minister Adegboyega Oyetola for the Osun State All Progressives Congress's (APC) recent poll defeat. The Osun APC and Oyetola have not commented on the matter.
According to Daily Post Nigeria, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke recently visited Tinubu, presenting him with his Certificate of Return. Former presidential aide Bashir Ahmad expressed optimism that Tinubu already has the backing of Osun State in the 2027 general elections, citing Adeleke's ruling party Accord and the main opposition APC as being within Tinubu's political orbit.
Adeleke won the August 15, 2026 election with 511,067 votes, defeating Bola Oyebamiji of the APC who polled 444,815 votes. Adeleke has thanked Tinubu for allowing a "free and fair election" in Osun, as reported by TheCable.
