Osun State’s minister, Gboyega Oyetola, says President Bola Tinubu’s endorsement by Governor Ademola Adeleke will not stop Adeleke from losing the upcoming Osun governorship election. Oyetola delivers the message directly to Adeleke, arguing that political support at the federal level does not guarantee electoral victory in the state.
Both outlets report Oyetola’s warning as the Osun election approaches, framing it as part of the political contest ahead of polling day on August 15. The accounts emphasize Oyetola’s stance that endorsements are “useless” or “won’t stop” Adeleke from facing defeat. While the outlets differ in phrasing—one stressing that Tinubu’s support will not change outcomes, the other describing it as insufficient to secure the governorship seat—they describe the same core claim and context: the warning is made in the run-up to a tightly contested election in Osun State.
