The Imole Campaign Council has pledged to mobilise 1.5 million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, expressing confidence that Governor Ademola Adeleke’s political structure in Osun State can help secure victory for the President.
The pledge followed the inclusion of Adeleke in the revised list of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 election. The Osun State governor was named the state coordinator of the campaign council for Tinubu’s re-election bid.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, 13 October, the Director-General of the Imole Campaign Council, Senator Olalere Oyewumi, welcomed the appointment, describing it as recognition of Adeleke’s political influence and capacity to mobilise support across the state.
Oyewumi assured the President that the confidence placed in the governor would not be misplaced, adding that the council was prepared to work towards achieving the promised votes.
He reiterated an earlier commitment attributed to Adeleke to deliver 1.5 million votes
for Tinubu in the forthcoming presidential election.The revised campaign council list also includes the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike; Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori; and Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, among other political figures.
The Imole Campaign Council also called on the people of Osun State to continue supporting Adeleke, linking support for Tinubu’s re-election bid to confidence in the governor’s administration and its campaign promises.
However, the pledge sets a significant target for the campaign group as political activities gradually gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general election.
Adeleke recently secured re-election as Osun State governor on the platform of the Accord Party. According to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), he polled 511,067 votes to defeat the APC candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, who received 444,815 votes.
The proposed 1.5 million-vote target will be a major test of the campaign council’s ability to mobilise voters in Osun as preparations for the presidential election continue.
