According to the leaders of the party in the Senatorial district during the meeting, Adeleke has represented the party exceptionally well and made the party and the state proud in terms of governance delivery, hence their support for his candidature for the 2026 gubernatorial election.
A statement issued after the meeting by Olusola Ajala on behalf of the PDP Committee of Publicists, noted that the Chairman of the party in Iwo local government, Hon Alidu Adeoye, moved the motion for the endorsement of Governor Adeleke for the governorship ticket ahead of the 2026 election on behalf of local government elected officials of the party.
