2027: Four Years Not Enough for Tinubu’s Reforms, Adeleke Says
Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has urged Nigerians to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027, arguing that four years would not be enough for the President’s reforms to deliver their intended results. Adeleke spoke on Wednesday at the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council at the State House Banquet Hall, Presidential Villa, Abuja. “We must give our father, the President of this nation, time for his reform to work. It’s not easy. Four years is not enough,” the governor said, declaring his support for Tinubu’s second-term bid. Adeleke, who was recently named coordinator of Tinubu’s campaign in Osun State, expressed confidence in the President’s chances in the 2027 election. “Nobody can stop this movement. We’re going to sing, we’re going to dance all the way back to Aso Rock,” he said. The governor added that Nigerians wanted action rather than excessive talk, urging supporters to work towards Tinubu’s re-election. He also called on citizens to continue praying for the President, saying his success would benefit the country. The revised campaign council list also named Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, as coordinator for Rivers State and the FCT, while Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo was included in the council. Speaking at the event, APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda described the gathering as a “rainbow coalition” bringing together people from different political parties. Adeleke governs Osun State under the Accord Party, while the APC campaign council is chaired by Tinubu, with Vice-President Kashim Shettima as vice-chairman. Former Zamfara State Governor Abdulaziz Yari serves as Director-General, and Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma is the secretary. The APC is scheduled to flag off its presidential campaign in Kaduna on October 24.
