President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, following his victory in the August 15, 2026, governorship election.
Adeleke disclosed this shortly after the Independent National Electoral Commission declared him the winner of the election.
The governor said the President reached out to him after the result was announced, describing the gesture as a positive sign for democracy and the electoral process in Osun State.
Adeleke secured victory in the election after defeating his closest challenger, Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress.
The governor’s victory means he will remain in office for another term after winning the 2022 governorship election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The latest development comes amid Adeleke’s renewed support for Tinubu’s bid to secure another term as President in the 2027 presidential election.
