The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, revealed his efforts to ensure Osun State Governor-elect Ademola Adeleke maintained his support for President Bola Tinubu after his August 15 election victory. Wike claimed he called Adeleke while he was in Croatia, asking if Adeleke would continue to support the President if he won.
Adeleke confirmed he would support Tinubu and Wike suggested he publicly reaffirm this commitment, along with thanking the President for the free and fair election. Wike also advised Adeleke to present his Certificate of Return to Tinubu after receiving it. Wike's actions were aimed at countering the political influence of an opposition coalition, known as the "coalition," ahead of the 2027 elections.
