2027: Why I’m Supporting Tinubu — Adeleke (Video)

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has openly thrown his weight behind President Bola Tinubu ahead of 2027, giving reasons that have left many Nigerians divided.

In a video that’s now trending, the governor explained why he’s backing the president. “I am supporting President Tinubu because he has roots in Osun State, and because it is the turn of the South,” he said. He also praised Tinubu for releasing funds to state governors to support development across the country and urged Nigerians to give him more time to implement his reforms.

The statement has set the social media buzzing, with many accusing the governor of prioritizing ethnic and regional loyalty over performance. Critics are questioning why “turn by turn” politics should matter when people are struggling with hardship, insecurity, and high cost of living. Some are even dragging Davido into the conversation, calling him out over his uncle’s position.
