Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has pledged to mobilise support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027, saying he is ready to lead the campaign movement.
Adeleke spoke on Wednesday at the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council in Abuja, where he expressed confidence in Tinubu’s bid for a second term.
The governor, who recently aligned with the APC, said he could already feel victory approaching and vowed to rally supporters behind the president.
“I can feel the victory coming in 2027. Nobody can stop this movement. I’m ready to lead this movement,” Adeleke said.
Dancing to the admiration of the President, the first lady and members of the Presidential Campaign Council, Adeleke said the campaign would involve celebrations as supporters worked to return Tinubu to Aso Rock.
“We’re going to sing, we’re going to dance all the way back to Aso Rock,” he said.

The governor also urged Nigerians to give Tinubu more time to implement his reforms, acknowledging the challenges associated with the administration’s policies.
“Everybody that is thinking otherwise, we must give our father, the President of this nation, time to work for his reforms to work. It’s not easy,” he said.
Adeleke said his involvement in the campaign reflected his preference for practical action over political rhetoric.
“That is why I am here to throw my weight because we want action, not too much talking. We don’t have time; work has begun. I’ve already started mine,” he said.
He urged Tinubu’s supporters across the country to intensify mobilisation efforts to secure a second term for the president, saying it would allow him to complete his programmes.
“From every corner, let us rise and make sure our president comes back for a second term so he can come back and complete his good work,” Adeleke said.
The governor who recently won an acrimonious election for a second term is one of the three opposition heavy weights supporting President Tinubu and recently appointed as APC coordinators for the coming election. Others are Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
