Ademola Adeleke, the governor of Osun State, has publicly said that he supports President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in advance of the general elections in 2027.

Speaking to the media on the nation’s political trajectory, Adeleke stated that the idea of regional balance had an impact on his choice, pointing out that the South is still responsible for producing Nigeria’s president.

The governor also praised Tinubu’s administration for providing funding to state governments, claiming that this assistance has enabled governors to carry out development projects and enhance infrastructure in their individual states.

He went on to say that leaders should be given enough time to put policies and reforms into place before being evaluated, emphasising that significant changes frequently call for persistence and patience.

“I am supporting President Tinubu because he has roots in Osun State, and because it is the turn of the South. Nigerians should please give him time to implement his reforms.”

“He has also made efforts in releasing funds to state governors to support development across the federation,” Adeleke stated.

Adeleke’s endorsement is anticipated to spark more discussion about political coalitions and the nation’s future course as preparations for the 2027 elections progressively get underway.
