He’s our leader – Adeleke reaffirms support for Tinubu
**Osun Governor Stands Firm Behind Tinubu's Re-election Bid**
The Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, has reiterated his support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election campaign in 2027. This announcement was made by Adeleke in a recent meeting with top government officials and cabinet members in Osogbo, the state capital.
According to the Governor's spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, Adeleke reaffirmed his backing for Tinubu, citing their long-standing relationship that predates Tinubu's presidency. Despite the ongoing challenges facing local governments in Osun State, Adeleke made it clear that his loyalty to Tinubu remains unwavering.
"We have no issues with President Tinubu; he is our leader," Adeleke declared. As a representative of the South-West region, Adeleke expressed his party's endorsement of Tinubu for another term in office, stating that it's in the best interest of the region.
In a show of appreciation for the growing popularity of the Accord Party (AP), Adeleke praised residents for their continued support for the party, which he noted was expanding beyond Osun State's borders. The Governor also emphasized his administration's commitment to delivering on its campaign promises, with a renewed focus on empowering youths, women, and workers.
Adeleke highlighted key areas of investment, including infrastructure development, agro-industrialisation, education, and healthcare, which he assured would be prioritised in the coming months. To strengthen the party's grassroots structure, the Governor directed party officials to embark on a membership registration drive and voter mobilisation across the state's 332 wards.
This declaration of support from Adeleke, who is a key player in the South-West region, is likely to have significant implications for Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027.
