Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has reaffirmed his support for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections, vowing to deliver the state's votes to the ruling party candidate. Speaking during a meeting with the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ajibola Basiru, on Sunday, August 30, Adeleke assured that his commitment was genuine and unwavering.
Governor Adeleke’s Assurance to President Tinubu
During the meeting, Governor Adeleke emphasized that he does not make empty promises and that politics must be guided by integrity. He insisted that his pledge to deliver Osun State's votes to President Tinubu was 100 per cent genuine, stressing that he meant every word.
“I don’t make empty promises,” Adeleke said. “When I said we will deliver Osun State votes to our dear father, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I meant it 100 per cent. Politics must be with integrity. We are all from Osun State. Let’s forget our differences and work for the President.”
Call for Unity in Osun State Politics
The governor called on all political actors in the state to set aside their differences and rally behind President Tinubu. He noted that despite being from different political backgrounds, the common goal should be the progress of the nation under Tinubu’s leadership.
Adeleke’s remarks come amid ongoing political realignments and discussions about the 2027 elections. His meeting with the APC National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru, is seen as a significant step in strengthening the collaboration between the state government and the ruling party at the national level.
Implications for the 2027 Elections
The governor’s pledge is expected to bolster President Tinubu’s campaign efforts in Osun State, which is considered a key battleground in the southwestern region. By publicly committing to deliver the state’s votes, Adeleke has positioned himself as a crucial ally in the president’s re-election bid.
Political analysts will be watching closely to see how this commitment translates into concrete electoral support in the coming months, as the 2027 general elections draw nearer.
