In a surprising political twist, the Osun State Senators’ Caucus of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has officially endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term in the 2027 General Elections.
The endorsement came after a closed-door strategy session held in Abuja on Tuesday, with all three serving PDP Senators from Osun—Senator Kamarudeen Lere Oyewumi (Osun West), Senator Olubiyi Fadeyi Ajagunla (Osun Central), and Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi, OFR (Osun East)—jointly signing a statement declaring President Tinubu as their “sole and legitimate presidential candidate” for 2027.
Citing the President’s “transformative infrastructure projects, sound economic policies, and improvements in national security,” the Senators praised Tinubu’s governance style and emphasized that their constituencies are already feeling the benefits.
“We are proud to represent a state that stands firmly behind President Tinubu’s visionary leadership,” the statement read, affirming that there was no dissent or division within the PDP bloc in Osun on this decision.
The endorsement is expected to trigger political ripples across the PDP nationwide, as it is rare for a state caucus within an opposition party to publicly support a sitting president from a rival political platform.
Below is the full statement released by the Osun PDP Senators’ Caucus:
