Two prominent leaders of the Accord coalition in Lagos have called on Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke to publicly clarify his political stance following reports of his involvement in Bola Tinubu’s 2027 campaign preparations.

The request for clarification comes as tensions rise within the ruling coalition regarding the direction of the 2027 electoral strategy. The Accord leaders expressed concern over the ambiguity surrounding Governor Adeleke’s reported role, urging him to define his loyalty to the party structure and the coalition’s collective goals.

While the source material does not specify the exact nature of the reported involvement, the call for transparency highlights the sensitive dynamics between senior state governors and the federal leadership ahead of the next general election cycle.

Political observers note that such internal clarifications are critical for maintaining unity within the ruling party, particularly when high-profile state leaders are linked to federal campaign activities without explicit public endorsement or denial.

As the 2027 campaign horizon approaches, the Accord’s demand for clarity serves as a reminder of the importance of defined roles and allegiance within Nigeria’s complex political landscape.
