APC picks Adeleke to lead Tinubu’s campaign in Osun, assigns Akande, Omisore roles, excludes Oyetola
After winning reelection the 15 August election, in which Mr Adeleke defeated the APC’s candidate Bola Oyebamiji with 511,067 votes, the governor again expressed support for Mr Tinubu, saying his decision was based on the president’s regional identity and his desire to see federal projects in the South-west completed.
The appointment places Mr Adeleke in a campaign structure established by the APC to secure Mr Tinubu’s reelection, while former Osun State governor Adebisi Akande and his then-deputy Iyiola Omisore were listed among the campaign council’s advisers.
