2027: 'It has expired' - Oyinlola withdraws endorsement for Tinubu
Former Osun State Governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, has withdrawn his endorsement for President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election. Oyinlola made this announcement during an interview on Channels Television, explaining the circumstances that led to the initial endorsement. In July 2025, Oyinlola, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), endorsed Tinubu, stating that the endorsement was a political chess move to address the challenges facing Osun State. However, the former governor expressed disappointment in the endorsement's failure to yield the desired results. Oyinlola revealed that the endorsement was motivated by the prevailing political situation in Osun State, particularly the issues of missing local government funds, unresolved local government office occupancy disputes, and the belief that these matters could be addressed by the President. He described the endorsement as a temporary move to help resolve the state's problems. The former governor has since shifted his support to Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, who is reportedly seeking the presidency in the 2027 general election on the platform of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).Former Osun State Governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, has withdrawn his endorsement for President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election.
