Omoyele Sowore, a presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), criticizes Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke after Adeleke endorsed President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 general election. In posts on his verified X account, Sowore describes the endorsement as an effort to extend a “failed” Tinubu presidency and as a “mission to destroy Nigeria beyond 2027.”
Sowore’s criticism follows Adeleke’s public endorsement of Tinubu shortly after Adeleke is declared winner of the Osun governorship election. Both outlets report that Sowore also links the move to broader political self-interest, accusing Adeleke and Tinubu political circles of prioritizing personal and political fortunes over national progress. One source further highlights election violence, alleging nearly 50 people are killed before and during the polls, and says this enables “corrupt political families” to consolidate power.
The coverage focuses on Sowore’s remarks and the timing of Adeleke’s endorsement, with no reporting of a direct response from Adeleke or Tinubu in the provided excerpts.
