Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the state have declared their support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
The endorsement was made public on Tuesday, July 22, via a statement posted on the governor’s official X account, following a strategic meeting with the PDP leadership caucus in Osogbo.
“Yesterday, I met with the @OfficialPDPNig Leadership Caucus in Osogbo after weeks of consultations with stakeholders across Osun — from traditional rulers and civil servants to market leaders and grassroots party members,” Adeleke wrote.
He reaffirmed his loyalty to the PDP and announced that he had been unanimously endorsed by the Osun PDP for a second term in 2026.
“Our party in Osun has also endorsed President Tinubu for re-election in 2027, recognising him as a proud son of our state. PDP remains the most popular and trusted party across Osun State. I will continue to deliver on our Five-Point Agenda with renewed focus and dedication. The love and support from the people of Osun continue to inspire me. Together, we move forward,” the statement read.
The move has sparked political discourse, given the rare instance of a PDP-led state openly backing an APC president for re-election.
