In a major political shift, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has been appointed as the Osun State Coordinator for the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council ahead of the 2027 general election.
Despite winning his re-election under the Accord Party platform, Governor Adeleke was selected by the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership to champion President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid across Osun State.
Cross-Party Appointment: Adeleke’s selection stands out as a rare move where an opposition party governor has been entrusted with directing the ruling party’s presidential strategy in his state.
Shift in Local Strategy: Prominent local APC stalwarts—including former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, Bola Oyebamiji, and Senator Francis Fadahunsi—were sidelined in the campaign list released by the party hierarchy.
Part of a Broader Realignment: The revised campaign structure also sees non-APC figures like FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo taking up campaign coordination roles in their respective territories.
