The lawmaker representing Osun Central Senatorial District in the Senate, Senator Olubiyi Fadeyi, has said he backed Governor Ademola Adeleke’s reelection in Saturday’s governorship poll due to the solid foundation for more development that his administration has laid for the State.
Fadeyi, who recently returned to the People’s Democratic Party from the All Progressives Congress, made this known during a telephone interview with our correspondent on Tuesday.
Earlier, the lawmaker in a statement he personally signed and sent to The PUNCH described Adeleke’s administration as one that has delivered impactful leadership, saying his endorsement was a reflection of the confidence that the PDP stakeholders and residents of Osun Central Senatorial District have in the governor’s leadership and his commitment to the welfare and development of the state.
Fadeyi, who is also the Peoples Democratic Party Senatorial Candidate for Osun Central in the 2027 elections, during the interview further said, “This endorsement is a reaffirmation of our confidence in the Governor’s leadership and his commitment to the development and wellbeing of the people of Osun State.
“The journey over the past years has been remarkable. Governor Adeleke has demonstrated that leadership is fundamentally about service, impact and putting the interests of the people first.
“Across Osun State, we have witnessed significant interventions in infrastructure and other critical sectors. We have also seen greater attention to the welfare of workers and pensioners, including the prompt payment of salaries and pensions.”
He added that while the government has recorded notable successes, more opportunities remained to be explored for the benefit of residents.
“These achievements deserve recognition, but more importantly, they demonstrate that there is still enormous potential to be unlocked. There is much more work to be done, and we believe Governor Adeleke deserves the opportunity to consolidate the gains already recorded and take Osun to an even greater height.
“Osun Central is ready. Osun State is ready. And together, we are ready to take the next giant leap forward.
“We look forward to another four years of purposeful leadership, accelerated development, expanded opportunities and shared prosperity under Governor Ademola Adeleke,” he stated.
The PUNCH reports that Fadeyi had in July dumped the All Progressives Congress and returned to the Peoples Democratic Party.
Fadeyi, alongside four other National Assembly members, had dumped the Peoples Democratic Party in July 2025.
