A sociopolitical group, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO) Media Fronts has rebutted the rumour being circulated by those it described as agents of Osun State Government that President Bola Tinubu has entered pact with Governor Ademola Adeleke to secure his re-election in August 15, 2026 Governorship election.

The group, in a statement issued by its Coordinator, Adebayo Adedeji, on Sunday, described the claims as false, unfounded and calculated attempt to cajole unsuspecting people of Osun State.

According to the group, the President does not believe in the leadership style of Governor Adeleke, hence the reason for rejecting his overtures to defect to APC last year.

AMBO Media Fronts argued that President Tinubu detests a leader whose record on transparency and accountability is warped and unbecoming like that of Governor Adeleke.

The group hinted that their Principal, APC flagbearer, Bola Oyebamiji has had an audience with the president, where according to them, shared his thought for the development of Osun State with the President.

According the group, during the meeting Oyebamiji articulated clear strategies to replicate the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr President, particularly in critical sectors such as education, agriculture, and infrastructure.

“The attention of the Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO) Media Fronts has been drawn to a baseless and mischievous rumour being circulated by privies and agents of the Osun State Government alleging that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has entered into a pact with Governor Ademola Adeleke to secure his re-election in the August 15, 2026 governorship election.

“We state unequivocally that this claim is false, unfounded, and a calculated attempt to cajole unsuspecting people of Osun State. It is nothing more than a desperate move to shore up the discombobulated image of Governor Adeleke, whose administration has failed to provide purposeful and effective leadership in nearly four years in office.

“President Tinubu does not believe in the leadership capacity of Adeleke, hence the reason for rejecting his overtures to defect to APC last year. President Tinubu does not tolerate and feel at home with politicians who prioritize their stomach over the well-being of the people they lead. Adeleke does not meet Mr President’s standard of a good leader.

“Why should anyone expect the President to abandon a loyal and performing party man like Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji—his former appointee as MD/CEO of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), who reduced waterway accidents and fatalities by 73% and increased agency revenue by over 100% within two years—only to support a governor whose record is marked by waste and misplaced priorities.

“President Tinubu has many reasons not support the re-election of Adeleke, so the propaganda that he is into a pact with Adeleke can only exist in the imagination of the dreamers behind the falsehood”, the group said.
