2027: Adeleke’s Camp Promises 1.5 Million Votes for Tinubu in Osun

The Imole Campaign Council of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has pledged to mobilise 1.5 million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, following the governor’s appointment as the state coordinator of the president’s re-election campaign.

The council, through its Director-General, Senator Olalere Oyewumi, announced the pledge on Tuesday, October 13, while welcoming Adeleke’s inclusion in the revised All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council.

Oyewumi said the political structure of the Accord Party in Osun State would work towards securing Tinubu’s victory, expressing confidence that Adeleke would justify the confidence placed in him by the president.

“The Imole Campaign Council welcomes the appointment of Governor Adeleke as State Coordinator of the PBAT Presidential Campaign Council in Osun,” Oyewumi said.

He described the appointment as well deserved and assured Tinubu that the governor would work towards delivering the state for the president in the forthcoming election.

“We promise the President, just like Governor Adeleke said some time ago, that we will deliver 1.5 million votes to ensure his victory in the coming presidential election,” the council’s director-general said.

The council also urged Osun residents to continue supporting Adeleke, linking the governor’s administration to Tinubu’s re-election bid.

“Our message to the people of Osun State is to keep trusting and supporting Governor Adeleke as he continues to deliver on his campaign promises. A vote for President Tinubu is a support for Governor Adeleke,” the statement added.

Adeleke’s appointment places him at the centre of Tinubu’s campaign mobilisation in Osun, even though the governor belongs to the Accord Party rather than the ruling APC.

The revised campaign council also names prominent political figures, including Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo, in key campaign roles.

The appointments indicate an effort to build support for Tinubu beyond the APC’s formal membership as political parties and influential figures position themselves ahead of the 2027 general election.

In a separate development, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has also expressed support for Soludo’s appointment as Anambra coordinator of Tinubu’s presidential campaign.

APGA’s National Publicity Secretary, Ejimofor Opera, said the party had adopted Tinubu as its consensus presidential candidate for the 2027 election, citing its commitment to cooperation with the Federal Government.

The latest political alignments come as parties and campaign organisations begin strengthening their structures ahead of the next presidential contest.

However, the 1.5 million votes promised by Adeleke’s camp remain a campaign target. The actual number of votes Tinubu receives in Osun will depend on voter participation and the choices made by eligible voters on election day.
