Osun State political reconciliation and 2027 mobilization

Overview

Political activities in Osun State have focused on mobilization and reconciliation efforts ahead of the 2027 presidential election. Pelumi Olajengbesi, the Accord Party candidate for the Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency, has set a goal to secure over one million votes for President Bola Tinubu in Osun State. Following a meeting with Seyi Tinubu, Olajengbesi noted that political reconciliation following the governorship election has created opportunities for mobilization, citing Governor Ademola Adeleke’s commitment to the President as a key factor.

Concurrently, former Senator Olusola Adeyeye has called for reconciliation between President Tinubu and former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola. Adeyeye noted that while a reunion would benefit the APC and the 2027 campaign—specifically in securing the South-West region—Aregbesola’s current position within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) may complicate such a reconciliation, as leaving the party might alienate his supporters.

Adding to the focus on political alignments, the group Osun Leaders of Thought expressed optimism regarding the alliance between President Tinubu and Governor Adeleke. The group anticipates that this partnership will accelerate development by improving access to federal social investment programs, rehabilitating federal roads, and resolving the local government crisis.

In a recent development, President Tinubu officially launched the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027 presidential campaign council in Abuja. While the council is active, Tinubu indicated he will focus on governance and international economic obligations rather than a full national tour, planning personal visits to 12 states. Amidst these shifts, the alliance between Tinubu and Governor Adeleke continues to be viewed by local socio-political groups in Osun as a pragmatic move to secure infrastructure projects and federal social investment funds.
