President Bola Tinubu was happy to have Osun State governor Ademola Adeleke, his billionaire brother and father of Davido, Adedeji Adeleke and the Afrobeats star himself, at his private Ikoyi residence in Lagos.
Tinubu who is home for the celebration of the Muslim festival was seen in company of the Adeleke brothers and the politicial observers were quick to suggest, governor Adeleke joining the the ruling All-Progressives Congress cannot be ruled out in the future.
However, governor Adeleke’s aides were quick to rule out any political undertones to the vist, which they described as a cordial and reflective of the President’s inclusive engagement style, particularly with leaders and influential figures across political divides.
Last month, the three senators from Osun State — all elected on PDP platform —pledged to back Tinubu in the 2027 election.
Most politically serving House of Representatives members in Osun State, Hon. Oluwole Oke last month defected to the APC.
The visit was made public by the Special Assistant to the President on social media, Dada Olusegun, via a post on his verified X handle, @DOlusegun.
The presidential aide wrote: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu receives in audience, H.E. Ademola Adeleke, the Executive Governor of Osun State, and Chief Adedeji Adeleke at his residence in Lagos.”
