APC National Secretary Surajudeen Basiru visits Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke in Osogbo to congratulate him on his re-election and to express appreciation for his support, according to reporting from multiple outlets.
Basiru states the visit also reflects personal and political courtesies. He says he attended final rites for Adeleke’s late mother and earlier visited Adeleke during his bereavement, and that his reciprocal visit was delayed due to political tensions around the election period. He also acknowledges that he campaigned against Adeleke ahead of the governorship vote while supporting APC’s candidate, Bola Oyebamiji.
In the meeting, Basiru says Adeleke’s victory is accepted despite cross-party differences, framing it as part of democratic practice. He adds that Adeleke reaffirmed his endorsement of President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 election, even amid speculation that Adeleke could withdraw support after winning re-election. The outlets characterize the encounter as emphasizing mutual respect and unity across party lines.
