The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term in 2027, hinging it on “a moral and development driven action in the best interest of Osun and Yoruba people at large”
A statement by the Adeleke through his Spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, on Monday disclosed that the governor made it known during a brief check on the ongoing construction of Ibadan-Ile Ife-Ilesa expressway.
He described President Tinubu as “our own son, father and leader” who deserves support beyond political considerations.
“I am the governor of the ancestral birthplace of Mr. President. How can I have my own in the saddle and think twice before embracing him? I need no persuasion to act as I have declared repeatedly, our endorsement of Mr President.
“How many Governors are as lucky as me? Well, my brother, Governor Sanwoolu of Lagos state will claim to be luckier. But we, in Osun state, count ourselves lucky and privileged to have one of our illustrious sons and father at the helm of affairs of Nigeria”, the governor noted.
Describing his decision as beyond partisan consideration, the governor reaffirmed his stance in support of President Tinubu and expressed gratitude of the state to Mr. President for the ongoing construction of Ilesa-Ile Ife-Ibadan Express way.
“I am elated at the speed and quality of work. The reconstruction will further widen and ease access to major centers of Osun state and complement my administration’s accelerated infrastructure deliveries across towns and villages.
“Our administration has also rehabilitated a number of federal roads from 2022 to date. At the state level, over 300 kilometres of state roads have been reconstructed. We are hoping Mr President will soon authorise payment of refund for those rehabilitated federal roads.
“We however again convey our appreciation to Mr. President for the approval of reconstruction of Ibadan- Iwo road- Osogbo as well as Gbongan-Akoda road. I hope to write to Mr President to further approve the Osogbo — Ilesa road for reconstruction”, the governor noted.
