The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, has praised the three Osun State senators from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for endorsing President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election. He also urged them to demonstrate their support more concretely by joining the APC.
In a statement released through the Senator Ajibola Basiru Campaign Organisation (SABCO) and signed by Prof. Remi Ajala, Basiru lauded the senators—Francis Fadahunsi (Osun East), Lere Oyewumi (Osun West), and Olubiyi Fadeyi (Osun Central)—for their public recognition of Tinubu’s leadership and achievements.
The trio of senators, in a joint statement issued on Tuesday, had expressed their support for Tinubu’s re-election bid, citing significant progress in areas such as infrastructure development, economic reforms, food security, and national security.
“The public recognition by the PDP senators of President Tinubu’s achievements, especially in critical areas like infrastructure, economic growth, and national security, is a testament to the transformative leadership he has provided,” the statement read. “Their acknowledgment of the Renewed Hope Agenda reflects the positive impact his governance is having on their constituencies and the nation at large.”
He described the senators’ endorsement as a commendable act of truthfulness and statesmanship and called on them to align their political affiliations with their public support by officially joining the APC. He emphasized that such a move would strengthen the collaboration needed to continue delivering progress for Nigerians.
“Honest leadership like this deserves encouragement and applause, especially at a time when Nigerians are yearning for real progress,” the statement added
