Keyamo Thanks Adeleke for Endorsing Tinubu for 2027 Re-election
Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has expressed appreciation to Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke after the governor reaffirmed his support for President Bola Tinubu’s bid for a second term in 2027.
Keyamo reacted to Adeleke’s declaration in a post on X, describing the Osun governor as a person of integrity and honour.
The minister also referenced the governor’s previous position on Tinubu’s 2027 ambition, saying the agreement between the two politicians remained in place.

Keyamo thanked Adeleke for what he described as an unequivocal public endorsement of Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The minister praised the governor’s character and concluded his message with the statement, “Agreement is agreement.”
His reaction followed Adeleke’s victory speech after the Osun State governorship election, during which the governor again declared his support for the President.

Adeleke also described Tinubu as a “son of Osun State” before publicly reaffirming his earlier endorsement of the President’s 2027 re-election bid.
The governor said his support for Tinubu remained unchanged and formally restated his backing for the President’s second-term ambition.
Adeleke wins another term in Osun
The endorsement came shortly after Adeleke secured another term as governor of Osun State.
He defeated his closest challenger, Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress, in the governorship election.
Following the result, Adeleke’s renewed support for Tinubu added a fresh political dimension to discussions about alliances and the 2027 presidential contest.
Adeleke’s position and Tinubu’s 2027 bid
Adeleke’s decision to reaffirm his support for Tinubu is significant because of his political position in Osun and the wider implications of the state’s recent governorship election.

His comments also reinforce an earlier commitment to support the President in the 2027 presidential contest.
For Keyamo, the governor’s latest declaration represents a continuation of an existing political understanding between the two figures.
The minister’s “agreement is agreement” remark was therefore widely framed around Adeleke’s decision to maintain his previously stated position on Tinubu’s re-election.
The political developments in Osun are expected to remain a major talking point as Nigerian political parties and politicians begin positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 general elections.
