Osun 2026: Adeleke’s Tinubu Praise and the New Political Chessboard for 2027

The Osun governorship election has reshaped conversations about the 2027 general election. Governor Ademola Adeleke’s public praise for President Bola Tinubu has fuelled speculation that he may support the President’s re-election bid, despite his political journey from the PDP to the Accord Party. Adeleke’s earlier victory was linked partly to the internal rift between former governors Gboyega Oyetola and Rauf Aregbesola. In 2026, Aregbesola backed ADC candidate Najeem Salaam, but the party’s reported poor showing has led critics to question the former governor’s current political influence in Osun. With campaigns and defections likely to intensify ahead of 2027, Nigerians should look beyond propaganda and empty promises. Voters must scrutinise candidates’ records, policies and commitment to public service before making their choices.
