EKO HOT BLOG reports that Raji made the disclosure on Monday while speaking on a current affairs programme, Lero Temi, aired in Osogbo.
According to him, the Adeleke political structure will openly campaign for Tinubu when the 2027 electioneering season begins, including featuring the president alongside the governor on campaign materials.
He acknowledged that Governor Adeleke’s camp worked against Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election but insisted that the president’s victory in 2027 is certain.
He said, “President Bola Tinubu belongs to all of us. I even stated in a forum recently that when electioneering campaigns start, whenever we print Governor Adeleke’s posters, we will ensure that President Bola Tinubu is included so that the electorate will know we are also campaigning for him.
“We will vote for Governor Ademola Adeleke for governor and also vote for Bola Tinubu for president.
“I can guarantee that President Bola Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election. Even though we voted against him during the 2023 presidential election, we are now saying that we will vote for him, and he will win the forthcoming presidential election.”
Raji also stated that Governor Adeleke and all his appointed officials are members of the Accord Party, while admitting that elected representatives in the state remain in the Peoples Democratic Party.
He dismissed claims of factionalisation within the Accord Party in Osun State, describing them as opposition mischief.
“There is no faction in Osun Accord. This is just mischief from the opposition, and INEC has also insisted that there is no faction in Accord,” he said.
Raji expressed confidence that Adeleke would secure another term in office, citing popular support across the state.
“The electorate still wants Governor Adeleke, and this gives us the confidence that he will be re-elected come August 8.
“Governor Ademola Adeleke will win the August 8 election because he is a man of the people. The people of Osun now know who the deceivers are.
“In 2018, Adeleke won, but an inconclusive election was used to edge him out.
“In 2022, another election was held, but this time around, Governor Adeleke won. They said he could only dance, but that dancing is what brought Osun the much needed dividends of democracy,” he added.
