“I remain in the PDP, the party that gave me the platform to serve,” says Adeleke.
Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, and members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun have endorsed President Bola Tinubu for re-election in the 2027 general election. Adeleke disclosed this in a post via his X handle on Tuesday, following a PDP caucus meeting held on Monday.
“Our party in Osun has also endorsed President @officialABAT for re-election in 2027, recognizing him as a proud son of our state,” Adeleke stated.
Amid rumours of defection, Adeleke reaffirmed his commitment to the PDP, noting that the party had also endorsed him for a second term in 2026.
“Yesterday, I met with the @OfficialPDPNig Leadership Caucus in Osogbo… I remain in the PDP, the party that gave me the platform to serve the good people of Osun. I have been unanimously endorsed… for a second term,” he wrote.
Speculation about Adeleke’s defection began in June after he visited President Tinubu at his Bourdillon residence in Lagos.
