Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke says he can sense victory for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Mr Adeleke spoke on Wednesday at the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council at the State House Banquet Hall, Presidential Villa, Abuja.

“I can feel the victory coming in 2027. Nobody can stop this movement. Is anybody able to stop this movement?  I’m ready to lead this movement. Yes, we’re going to sing, we’re going to dance all the way back to Aso Rock”, he said.

The governor urged Nigerians to give Mr Tinubu more time for his reforms to take effect, pledging to support the president’s re-election bid.

“Because, we want action, not too much talking, because we don’t have time. The work has begun. I’ve already started mine, from every corner. Let us rise. Let us rise,  and make sure, our president  comes back for the second time”, Mr Adeleke said.

He added that Mr Tinubu’s success would benefit Nigerians, expressing optimism that the president would secure another term.

“If he succeeds, we all succeed. And I know by the special grace of God, We shall get there,” he said.
