Ademola Adeleke, governor of Osun state, has formally thrown his weight behind President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.
Adeleke described the endorsement as a “moral and development-driven” decision in the best interest of Osun state and the Yoruba people.
Speaking after inspecting ongoing work on the Ibadan-Ile Ife-Ilesa expressway, the governor said he had no hesitation supporting Tinubu, whom he described as “our own son, father and leader”.
Adeleke said he considers himself privileged, alongside Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, to have an “illustrious son” of the Yoruba stock at the helm of national affairs.
The governor framed his position as transcending partisan politics and rooted in gratitude for federal projects in the state.
He praised the speed and quality of work on the Ibadan-Ile Ife-Ilesa expressway, saying it would ease access to major towns in Osun and complement his administration’s infrastructure efforts.
