Adeleke: My support for Tinubu’s re-election intact despite Osun LG crisis
**Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke Stands by Bola Tinubu's Re-election Bid Despite Osun LG Crisis** By Victor Adeoti, Naija News In a recent address to his cabinet members, special advisers, and top government officials in Osogbo, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke reaffirmed his support for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in 2027. This statement comes despite the ongoing crisis over local governments in the state. Adeleke, who has a long history of backing Tinubu even when he was in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), expressed his loyalty to the President, stating that Tinubu represents the South-West and that his position on Tinubu's re-election remains unchanged. This stance is significant, given the current political climate in Nigeria, where regional loyalties and alliances are crucial. The Osun governor also took the opportunity to thank residents for supporting the Accord Party (AP), which he believes is gaining popularity beyond its stronghold in Osun State. Adeleke outlined his administration's plans to deliver more democratic dividends to the people, with a renewed focus on youths, women, and workers. He also highlighted the importance of investments in infrastructure, agro-industrialisation, education, and healthcare. Adeleke directed his party officials to strengthen the party's structure through membership registration and voter mobilisation across the 332 wards in the state. This move is seen as an effort to consolidate the party's influence and prepare for future elections. It remains to be seen how the Osun LG crisis will affect the state's politics, but for now, Adeleke's stance on Tinubu's re-election bid appears unwavering. As the 2027 presidential election approaches, this development is likely to be closely watched by political observers and stakeholders across Nigeria.
