Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has reaffirmed his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bid for a second term in the 2027 presidential election.
Adeleke made this known on Sunday shortly after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared him the winner of the 2026 Osun State governorship election.
The governor commended Tinubu for what he described as his support for a free and fair election, referring to the President as “a son of Osun State.”
Adeleke polled 511,067 votes on the platform of the Accord Party to defeat his closest rival, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, who scored 444,815 votes.
The governor won 19 of the state’s 30 local government areas, while Oyebamiji secured victory in 11.
The result gives Adeleke a second term in office after he was first elected governor in 2022 under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Adeleke had previously endorsed Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election despite his political differences with the President’s party.
