Enugu Media Village (EMV), the Most Updated Online News Platform— October 13, 2026.
PRESIDENT Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reportedly appointed Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, as the State Coordinator of his presidential campaign in Osun State ahead of the 2027 general election.
The reported appointment forms part of efforts to strengthen the President’s campaign structure and coordinate political mobilisation across the country as preparations for the next presidential election gather momentum.
Adeleke’s inclusion has attracted attention because he contested and won the 2022 Osun governorship election under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before subsequently joining the Accord Party. His reported designation in Tinubu’s campaign structure therefore represents a notable political development in the state.
The appointment is also coming amid increasing political realignments, consultations and strategic engagements among political stakeholders ahead of the 2027 general election.
ADELEKE’S CAMP TARGETS 1.5 MILLION VOTES FOR TINUBU
The Imole Campaign Council, associated with Governor Adeleke, has reportedly welcomed the development and expressed its readiness to mobilise support for President Tinubu’s re-election bid.
The council, through its Director-General, Senator Olalere Oyewumi, reportedly pledged to work with relevant political structures and stakeholders to strengthen the President’s support base across Osun State.
The group also reiterated its reported target of delivering 1.5 million votes for Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, with mobilisation efforts expected to involve grassroots engagement, consultations and coordination with party supporters.
If achieved, the target would represent a significant level of electoral mobilisation in Osun State. However, the actual outcome will depend on voter participation, political developments and the decisions of eligible voters at the polls.
TINUBU’S CAMPAIGN COUNCIL WIDENS ITS REACH
The reported appointment is part of a broader campaign coordination arrangement involving political figures from different parties and regions.
Among the other prominent names associated with the revised campaign structure are Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, reportedly designated to coordinate activities in Rivers State and the Federal Capital Territory, and Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, who has also been linked to campaign coordination in his state.
The inclusion of these political figures has generated interest in the alliances and engagements that could shape the political landscape ahead of the 2027 elections.
The campaign council is expected to facilitate political consultations, coordinate state-level activities, engage community and party leaders, and support efforts to communicate the administration’s policies and programmes to voters.
Reports also indicated that the expanded council was expected to be inaugurated at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
POLITICAL REALIGNMENTS AHEAD OF 2027
As the 2027 general election approaches, political parties and their candidates are expected to intensify consultations, stakeholder engagement and grassroots mobilisation across the country.
For Osun State, the reported appointment of Adeleke would place the governor at the centre of campaign coordination efforts for Tinubu, should the arrangement be formally confirmed and implemented as reported.
The development also raises questions about how existing party affiliations, political interests and state-level relationships will influence campaign activities in the months ahead.
While campaign appointments and vote-delivery targets can signal the direction of political strategies, the final electoral outcome will be determined by voters and the applicable electoral process.
