Osogbo, Nigeria – In a surprising twist that has sent ripples through Nigeria’s political landscape, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Senators’ Caucus in Osun State has formally declared support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
The endorsement was contained in a joint statement issued on Tuesday by Senator Kamarudeen Oyewumi representing Osun West, Senator Olubiyi Ajagunla of Osun Central, and Senator Francis Fadahunsi representing Osun East. The three lawmakers, speaking with one voice, praised President Tinubu’s leadership style, his achievements in office so far, and what they described as a visionary and progressive national agenda.
Following a meeting held in Osogbo, the senators unanimously backed the President, citing his track record in governance, bold economic reforms, and significant investments in infrastructure development. They also highlighted noticeable improvements in national security and a reduction in food prices, attributing these to the administration’s effective and people-focused policies.
“This endorsement is not just symbolic—it reflects our deep confidence in President Tinubu’s ability to deliver on the promise of democracy,” the senators stated. They stressed that the decision was made in unity, with no internal dissent among the caucus members.
The lawmakers described their support as rooted in objective evaluation rather than partisan politics. They noted that President Tinubu’s administration had shown clear direction and commitment to nation-building, which, according to them, deserves continuity beyond 2027.
The statement concluded with a call on President Tinubu to sustain and even accelerate his developmental initiatives for the benefit of all Nigerians. The senators reaffirmed their pride in aligning with his leadership, expressing optimism that his vision would further unite and transform the country.
The endorsement has sparked conversations nationwide, particularly as it comes from opposition lawmakers in a state governed by the PDP. Political analysts suggest the move could influence realignments ahead of the 2027 elections, signaling a shift in how political support may transcend party boundaries in the years to come.
