The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has commended Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, for paying him and President Bola Tinubu a visit, declaring that the governor now firmly belongs to their political camp.
Wike made this known on Friday while speaking during an inspection exercise in Abuja, insisting that Adeleke’s visit was proof of where his political loyalty truly lies.
He said the coming 2027 general election would be more revealing than previous ones, taking a swipe at the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over claims that the party contributed to Adeleke’s re-election victory in Osun State.
“I told you that the 2027 election would be the most in-depth election. I have told ADC who are talking about, oh, they helped Adeleke to win, they just wanted to go ahead and harvest what they never planted, you know,” Wike said.
The FCT Minister maintained that Adeleke’s visit confirmed his unwavering support for President Tinubu ahead of the 2027 polls.
“So, Adeleke is fully supporting Mr President,” he added.
Wike further disclosed that the ongoing political realignment across the country was far from over, noting that more political groups and figures were expected to align with the Tinubu-led camp in the coming weeks.
“And so, we went to bed last night and encouraged ourselves to continue. And the next few weeks, watch what is going to happen. You will see a larger rainbow coalition in this country supporting Mr President,” he stated.
He rounded off his remarks with a direct declaration of Adeleke’s political allegiance.
“Adeleke belongs to us, and we all belong to Mr President. Thank you, brother,” Wike said.
