Human rights activist and former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has alleged that Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has thrown his support behind President Bola Tinubu’s bid to remain in office beyond the 2027 general elections.
Sowore made the remarks in a post shared on his verified X account on Sunday while reacting to political developments following the Osun State governorship election.
According to him, the political relationship between the Adeleke and Tinubu families is driven by personal and political interests rather than the welfare of Nigerians.
«”Governor @AAdeleke_01 has endorsed the failed Tinubu @officialABAT presidency to continue its mission of destroying Nigeria beyond 2027.”»
He further alleged that both political families were primarily focused on protecting themselves and preserving their political influence.
«”At the end of the day, the Adelekes and the Tinubus are looking out for their own personal and political interests, watching each other’s backs, protecting their political fortunes, and safeguarding their loot.”»
Sowore also expressed sadness over the reported loss of lives linked to violence during the Osun governorship election, saying the casualties were unnecessary.
«”I feel sorry for the nearly 50 people whose lives were wasted in election violence during the #OsunDecides, all so these corrupt political families could prove how much they love and protect one another.”»
The activist also took aim at popular musician David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, suggesting that the singer would eventually return to supporting President Tinubu.
«”Even their lousy political scion, @davido, will soon return to his vomit, the #CityBoys that’s assuming he ever truly left it in the first place.”»
