OSUN STATE, NIGERIA, JUL 23 – The Osun PDP and Governor Adeleke back Tinubu citing his ancestral ties, boosting his re-election prospects from 17.5% to 19.2%, despite party tensions and opposition criticism.
- On Monday, July 21, 2025, during a gathering at the Government House in Osogbo, the Osun State chapter of the PDP unanimously pledged their support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bid for a second term in the 2027 elections, as well as for Governor Ademola Adeleke’s campaign for another term in 2026.
- The endorsements came after extensive consultations with traditional rulers, market unions, civil servants, and residents, amid rumors of Governor Adeleke switching to the opposition party; however, these rumors were not initiated by the governor and were opposed by members of both the PDP and the rival party in the state.

- The communique acknowledged President Tinubu's roots in Osun State, referring to him as a "son of Osun State," and instructed all PDP party organs to share the decisions made and mobilize support accordingly.
- These endorsements position Osun as a key political player ahead of the 2026 and 2027 elections while affirming loyalty within the PDP amid defection speculations and factional hostility.
