Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has declared support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second-term bid, citing ongoing reforms and developmental strides as reasons for his endorsement.
Adeleke made the declaration during a public event, where he praised Tinubu’s economic policies and governance approach. He said the president’s efforts to stabilize the economy and improve infrastructure demonstrate a commitment to national progress.
The governor noted that continuity in leadership would allow ongoing reforms to fully mature, leading to long-term benefits for Nigerians. He urged citizens to support policies aimed at economic recovery and growth.
Political analysts view Adeleke’s endorsement as significant, given the dynamics of inter-party relations in the country. His support may influence political alignments ahead of the next general elections.

The development has sparked debate among political stakeholders, with some seeing it as a strategic alliance, while others interpret it as a move to strengthen political influence.
Observers say the endorsement could reshape political calculations in the South-West and beyond, especially as parties begin to position themselves for future elections.
The governor called for unity among leaders, emphasizing the need to prioritize national interest over partisan considerations.
