2026: Your Visit To President Tinubu Has No Bearing On Our Guber Aspirants – Osun APC Tells Adeleke
The opposition All Progressives Congress in Osun State has declared that the visit of Governor Ademola Adeleke to President Bola Tinubu will have no bearing on the 2026 gubernatorial election.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that Governor Adeleke, his uncle Deji Adeleke, and singer David Adeleke, popularly known as ‘Davido’, visited President Tinubu in his Lagos home on Tuesday.
The visit has generated a lot of controversies with some saying that the governor is planning to decamp to the APC, an insinuation which has been debunked by the governor.
Meanwhile, the APC in Osun, said the visit does not have any significant political implications on the governorship aspirants of the APC.
The party urged their members not to lose sleep over Adeleke’s family visit, noting that as the President of Nigeria, Tinubu can host anyone.
“We shouldn’t forget the fact that the President has the whole country as his constituency and anyone irrespective of political persuasion, religious leaning, and ethnic background has the right to visit the nation’s President as long as such visit is not capable of causing cataclysm to the number one citizen of the country,” a statement by the APC Director of Media, Kola Olabisi stated.
“Our party is intact in our state, and I am eminently qualified to state that we have an array of capable and qualified governorship aspirants who have been consulting with interest groups about their 2026 gubernatorial aspirations to take over from the current bumbling and fumbling governor and give quality leadership to the people of Osun State.
“The troubled looks on the faces of the three visitors to the President indicated a pointer to the fact that if something was not chasing them or they were definitely chasing something.
“It was only Governor Ademola, his brother, Deji, and nephew, Davido, who could feel where their shoes were pinching them, but definitely, there is fire on the mountain for the trio and the Osun State chapter of the PDP.
“Whereas there is nothing strange in a state governor visiting the number one citizen of the nation, especially during the festivities, but when a combative governor, who has been full of hate and bile towards the same President engaged in such an emergency visit, then one can hazard a guess about the emotional torment of the said governor,” the statement further read.
