Following his re-election in the Osun State governorship election, Governor Ademola Adeleke has reaffirmed his support for President Bola Tinubu’s bid for a second term in 2027.
Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, welcomed the endorsement, describing Adeleke as a “man of integrity and honour”.
In a post on X on Sunday, Keyamo thanked the governor for what he described as his “public and unequivocal endorsement” of Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election.
“Thank you, Governor Ademola Adeleke, for the public and unequivocal endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT for the 2027 Presidential Election,” Keyamo said.
“You are a man of integrity and honour. ‘Agreement is agreement.’”
Adeleke had restated his support for Tinubu while delivering his victory speech after defeating his closest challenger, Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress, in the August 15 governorship election.
The governor also credited Tinubu with supporting what he described as a free and fair electoral process in Osun.
“At this point, I must deeply appreciate Mr President, His Excellency, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his strong support for a free and fair election,” Adeleke said.
Describing Tinubu as “a son of Osun State”, Adeleke subsequently reaffirmed his earlier endorsement of the President for another term.
“Mr President is a son of Osun State and I hereby reaffirm my earlier endorsement of him for second term in the 2027 presidential election,” he said.
Keyamo’s reaction came shortly after Adeleke’s victory and renewed endorsement, placing the governor’s continued support for Tinubu at the centre of political discussions ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
