The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru, held a significant meeting with Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke on Sunday. This gathering primarily focused on strategies to secure Osun State's support for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

During the meeting, Basiru expressed his gratitude to Adeleke for his recent electoral victory and acknowledged the governor's attendance at the funeral of his late mother. He stated, "On a congratulatory visit to His Excellency, Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke, on his victory at the polls, and to specially appreciate him for his visit during the burial of my late mother."

The discussions between Basiru and Adeleke were framed around the commitment to mobilize support for President Tinubu in the upcoming presidential race. Basiru highlighted that Adeleke had assured him of his dedication to this objective, indicating a collaborative effort between the two leaders.

This meeting underscores the APC's focus on consolidating its influence in Osun State ahead of the 2027 elections. As the political landscape evolves, both leaders are keen on ensuring that their party's agenda resonates with the electorate in the region.

The APC's strategy will likely involve grassroots mobilization and engagement with various stakeholders to enhance their chances of success in the forthcoming elections. With Adeleke's support, the APC aims to strengthen its foothold in Osun and rally voters behind President Tinubu's candidacy.

As the election approaches, the dynamics between the APC and Adeleke's administration will be closely watched, as they could significantly impact the political climate in Osun State and beyond.
