Ademola Adeleke, the governor of Osun state, has officially supported President Bola Tinubu’s effort to run for re–election in 2027.
Adeleke said his support is a moral and development–focused choice that benefits 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”.
“As governor of the ancestral birthplace of Mr President, how can I have my own in the saddle and think twice before embracing him?” the governor asked.
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 thanked the team for the fast and good work on the Ibadan-Ile Ife-Ilesa expressway, saying it will make it easier to get to important towns in Osun and help with the work his government is doing on roads. Adeleke said his administration has fixed many federal roads since 2022 and has rebuilt more than 300 kilometers of state roads.
He expressed hope that the federal government would soon refund the state for the federal roads repaired and announced plans to request approval for the reconstruction of the Osogbo-Ilesa road.
Adeleke also commended the president for approving the Ibadan-Iwo-Osogbo and Gbongan-Akoda roads.
“With God and people, democracy shall triumph on August 15. President has repeatedly advocated free and fair elections,” Adeleke said.
”As a government, we will deploy all means within the law to ensure free and fair election on August 15 and beyond. We know and believe the President meant well for Osun state.”
