Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, and the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, on Saturday unveiled 30 campaign vehicles donated to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The vehicles were donated by Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, through the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement.
The event, held in Osogbo, Osun State, attracted supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Accord Party.
Other attendees included APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru; Osun APC Chairman, Tajudeen Lawal; Accord Party Chairman in Osun, Victor Akande; Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Adewale Egbedun; and other political leaders.
Osun Deputy Governor, Kola Adewusi, read Adeleke’s address at the event. The governor praised supporters from different political parties for working together to secure Tinubu’s re-election.
Adeleke said the alliance was formed specifically to support Tinubu’s second-term bid. He urged members of the coalition to put aside past disagreements and work together to secure between 1.5 million and two million votes for the President.

According to him, members of the coalition would support Tinubu in the presidential election but remain free to campaign for their respective candidates for the Senate, House of Representatives and State House of Assembly.
Adeleke also urged campaign members to take their message to communities across Osun State and explain the benefits of the Federal Government’s projects and economic reforms.
Speaking on behalf of Oyetola, the APC candidate in the last Osun governorship election, Bola Oyebamiji, said Tinubu’s re-election campaign was gaining support across party lines.
He described Adeleke’s role in coordinating the Rainbow Campaign Council as evidence that the President’s re-election was more important than individual political interests.
Oyebamiji said the APC was targeting 1.5 million votes for Tinubu in Osun State, adding that the goal could be achieved through unity and effective mobilisation.
He also urged voters to support APC candidates contesting legislative seats.
Basiru called on Osun residents to support Tinubu in 2027, citing government initiatives such as the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) and federal road projects in the state. These include the Ilesa-Ife-Ibadan Expressway, Osogbo-Gbongan Expressway and Osogbo-Iwo-Ibadan roads.
The Managing Director of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, Dr Kestin Pondi, who represented Tompolo, said the vehicles came with speakers, generators and amplifiers to support grassroots campaigning.
Pondi urged Osun State to deliver all its votes for Tinubu, adding that more resources would be provided to strengthen the campaign.
The Osun coordinator of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Timothy Olanrewaju, also promised that the group would work to secure maximum support for the President.
Despite the alliance, Adeleke and Oyetola have maintained some distance from each other. Their differences were also noticeable during the recent inauguration of the Osun State Presidential Campaign Council, which Oyetola and several APC leaders did not attend.
