After months of speculation, Osun State’s Governor Ademola Adeleke has announced that the local chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has endorsed both him and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term.
With the crisis rocking his home party, PDP, and with fellow party governors like those of Delta and Akwa Ibom defecting to the President’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), the nation had been primed for a possible defection by Adeleke.
He had, also, last month visited the Lagos home of the President, with his uncle, Deji Adeleke, and famous musician nephew Davido.
However, Adeleke laid all the speculations to rest announcing on Tuesday with an X Twitter message:
OSUN PDP LEADERSHIP CAUCUS COMMUNIQUE – OUR RESOLVE
Yesterday, I met with the @OfficialPDPNig Leadership Caucus in Osogbo after weeks of consultations with stakeholders across Osun — from traditional rulers and civil servants to market leaders and grassroots party members.
I’m pleased to share the resolutions:
I remain in the PDP, the party that gave me the platform to serve the good people of Osun.
I have been unanimously endorsed by the Osun PDP for a second term in 2026.
Our party in Osun has also endorsed President @officialABAT for re-election in 2027, recognizing him as a proud son of our state.
PDP remains the most popular and trusted party across Osun State.
I will continue to deliver on our Five-Point Agenda with renewed focus and dedication.
The love and support from the people of Osun continues to inspire me. Together, we move forward.
