Osogbo, Nigeria — Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has stated that the ongoing local government (LG) crises in the state will not weaken support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.

Speaking amid rising political tension surrounding control and administration of local governments in Osun, Adeleke dismissed concerns that the situation could negatively impact Tinubu’s political standing, particularly in the South-West region.

The governor emphasized that the disputes at the local government level are largely internal and do not reflect the broader political alignment or voter sentiment toward the president.

According to Adeleke, support for Tinubu remains intact, suggesting that the electorate is capable of separating local governance issues from national leadership considerations.

The Osun LG crisis has been marked by disagreements over control of council structures, legal battles, and political rivalry between major parties, raising concerns about governance and stability at the grassroots level.

Despite the unrest, Adeleke maintains that:

• The crisis is localized and politically contained
• It will not influence Tinubu’s popularity or electoral prospects
• Voters are likely to differentiate between state-level conflicts and national leadership

More developments are expected as political actors continue to address the situation ahead of future elections.
