President Bola Tinubu is set to meet with Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State at the State House in Abuja. The Osun governor arrived at the Presidential Villa on Thursday evening and was promptly driven to the forecourt before proceeding to the first floor for a closed-door session with the president. This meeting is unfolding just a week after Adeleke won re-election for a second term in the Osun State governorship election held on Saturday, August 15, 2026.
The gathering of political figures is garnering significant attention as political alignments are shifting ahead of the 2027 general election. While the specific agenda of the meeting has not been officially disclosed, it is expected that discussions between Tinubu and Adeleke could encompass a range of topics pertinent to Osun State, including governance matters, federal-state relations, and broader national political affairs.
Interestingly, despite Adeleke belonging to the Accord Party, which is distinct from Tinubu's All Progressives Congress (APC), the governor has expressed his readiness to support Tinubu's re-election bid in the upcoming presidential poll slated for January 2027. This move demonstrates Adeleke's commitment to the president's political aspirations, even as they remain affiliated with different political parties.
