The Imole Campaign Council, the political group backing Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, has pledged to mobilise 1.5 million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election following the governor’s appointment as the president’s campaign coordinator in the state.
The council made the pledge on Tuesday through its Director-General, Senator Olalere Oyewumi, while reacting to Adeleke’s inclusion in the revised All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council.
Adeleke, who belongs to the Accord Party, was named the Osun State coordinator of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (PBAT) Presidential Campaign Council ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Welcoming the appointment, Oyewumi described it as well deserved and expressed confidence that the governor would deliver the state for Tinubu in the presidential election.
“The Imole Campaign Council welcomes the appointment of Governor Adeleke as State Coordinator of the PBAT Presidential Campaign Council in Osun.
“The appointment is a well-deserved one. We assure the President that his confidence in the ability of Governor Adeleke to deliver Osun in the presidential election will not be misplaced,” he said.
The council also reaffirmed its commitment to mobilising support for Tinubu, saying it would work towards fulfilling Adeleke’s earlier pledge to deliver 1.5 million votes for the president.
“We promise the President, just like Governor Adeleke had said some time ago, that we will deliver 1.5 million votes to ensure his victory in the coming presidential election,” Oyewumi added.
The campaign council further urged residents of Osun to continue supporting Adeleke, linking the governor’s political leadership and administration to its call for support for Tinubu’s re-election bid.
The appointment places Adeleke, an Accord Party governor, within the APC-led president’s re-election campaign structure, alongside other political figures named in the revised campaign council.
Other governors included in the list are Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo, while Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike was also assigned campaign responsibilities.
The council’s pledge comes ahead of the 2027 general elections, with the proposed 1.5 million votes representing its stated mobilisation target for Tinubu in Osun State.
