‘Agreement is agreement,’ Keyamo tells Adeleke over Tinubu endorsement

Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has thanked Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke for publicly reaffirming his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.

Keyamo, in a post on X on Sunday, described Adeleke as “a man of integrity and honour” following the governor’s renewed endorsement of Tinubu.

“Thank you, Governor Ademola Adeleke, for the public and unequivocal endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the 2027 Presidential Election,” Keyamo said.

“You are a man of integrity and honour. ‘Agreement is agreement.’”

Adeleke renewed his support for Tinubu while delivering his victory speech after winning re-election in the Osun State governorship election held on Saturday.

The governor commended Tinubu for what he described as the President’s support for a free and fair electoral process in the state.

“At this point, I must deeply appreciate Mr President, His Excellency, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for his strong support for a free and fair election,” Adeleke said.

Describing Tinubu as “a son of Osun State”, Adeleke formally reaffirmed his backing for the President’s second-term bid.

“Mr President is a son of Osun State and I hereby reaffirm my earlier endorsement of him for a second term in the 2027 presidential election,” he said.

Adeleke’s endorsement came after he secured another term as governor, defeating his closest challenger, Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress, in the governorship election.

The renewed endorsement is significant given Adeleke’s membership of the Peoples Democratic Party, while Tinubu is the presidential candidate of the APC for the 2027 election.
