Tinubu alliance won’t extend to legislative elections – Adeleke

The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has said that the political alliance involving the Accord, All Progressives Congress and Peoples Democratic Party in the state is strictly for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and will not extend to legislative elections.

Adeleke made the clarification on Thursday in Osogbo while inaugurating the Osun State Presidential Campaign Council for Tinubu’s re-election bid ahead of the January 2027 presidential election.

The governor said the coalition was formed specifically to secure support for Tinubu, stressing that the agreement among the participating political structures was limited to the presidential election.

He described the alliance as a convergence of influential political figures across party lines and stated,

Our alliance is about the presidential election on which we have all agreed to support the re-election of President Tinubu.

He urged political leaders and stakeholders in the state to set aside their differences and work together to achieve the coalition’s objective.

Meanwhile, the APC National Secretary, Dr Ajibola Basiru, urged political leaders and stakeholders in Osun State to support Adeleke in ensuring the success of Tinubu’s re-election campaign.

Basiru appealed to political actors to set aside personal ambitions, political interests and party differences in pursuit of the President’s second-term bid.
