In a formal statement released after the gathering, Governor Adeleke disclosed that the PDP leadership in Osun had formally endorsed him for a second gubernatorial term in 2026.
Alongside that resolution, the state party also pledged its collective support for President Tinubu’s continued leadership beyond 2027.
According to Adeleke, the PDP in Osun recognises Tinubu as a distinguished native of the state, adding a layer of sentiment to their endorsement.In his words: “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, recognising 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 continue to inspire me. Together, we move forward,” Adeleke stated.
His comments underscore the growing complexity of party allegiances in Nigeria, especially with regional interests sometimes taking precedence over national party lines.
