By Victor Adeoti

Osun governor, Ademola Adeleke has said the crisis over local governments in the state had not changed his position on support for re-election of President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

Adeleke also noted that he had been backing Tinubu during his time in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The Osun governor made the declaration on Tuesday in Osogbo while addressing cabinet members, special advisers and top government officials, according to a statement by his spokesperson, Malam Olawale Rasheed.

“We have no problem with President Tinubu. He is our leader.

“He represents the South-West, and I reaffirm our endorsement of Mr President for re-election in the best interest of the region,” he said.

Adeleke also thanked residents for supporting Accord Party (AP), which he described as “its growing popularity spreading beyond Osun”.

He said the government would sustain the delivery of democratic dividends with renewed focus on youths, women and workers, alongside investments in infrastructure, agro-industrialisation, education and healthcare.

The governor directed party officials to strengthen the party’s structure through membership registration and voter mobilisation across the 332 wards in the state. (NAN)
