The campaign council said Adeleke’s decision to support Tinubu was based on the President’s performance and economic reforms, rather than any agreement between their political camps.

The council’s spokesperson, Pelumi Olajengbesi, stated this in a post on his 𝕏 handle on Sunday while reacting to comments by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo.

Keyamo had congratulated Adeleke on his re election and praised the governor for publicly endorsing Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

The minister wrote, “Thank you, Governor Ademola Adeleke, for the public and unequivocal endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT for the 2027 Presidential Election. You are a man of integrity and honour. ‘Agreement is agreement.’”

Reacting, Olajengbesi rejected the suggestion that Adeleke’s support for Tinubu was based on a political agreement.

“Do not undermine the resilience of Osun people. There is no agreement,” he wrote.

According to Olajengbesi, Adeleke’s camp decided to support Tinubu because of the impact it believes the President’s policies have had on state finances.

“Our support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is based on his performance and reforms that have strengthened states economically,” Olajengbesi said.

He added that Tinubu’s role in the Osun governorship election was limited to allowing the democratic process to take place without interference.
