2027: I won’t backtrack on Tinubu endorsement, says Adeleke

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has reaffirmed his endorsement of President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election. According to the Punch, Adeleke stated that he cannot go back on his backing after giving his words of support.

The governor assured President Tinubu that he will deliver Osun State's votes to him, emphasizing that he does not make empty promises and that politics must be guided by integrity. As reported by Punch Nigeria and Daily Post Nigeria, Adeleke described Tinubu as his "dear father" and stressed that his commitment to the President was genuine, with a 100 per cent promise to deliver the state's votes.

Adeleke's position was influenced by the values instilled in him by his father, whom he described as a diplomat and labour union politician. The governor also met with the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Ajibola Basiru, who reportedly discussed cooperation between the APC and Adeleke's Accord Party in the state, with Premium Times noting that this could help President Tinubu secure about 1.5 million votes in the upcoming presidential election.
