‘You’re Thanking Those Who Planned Against You’ — Izzy Ogbeide Tackles Adeleke Over Tinubu Endorsement

Social media influencer Izzy Ogbeide has questioned Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke over his decision to endorse President Bola Tinubu for a second term in the 2027 presidential election.

Ogbeide raised the issue in a video shared on her Instagram page, questioning why Adeleke chose to support Tinubu after the political tensions that surrounded the Osun State governorship election.

The influencer also questioned Adeleke’s earlier position on the 2027 presidential election and his subsequent decision to thank the President for supporting what the governor described as a free and fair electoral process.

“So if you thank him for free and fair election, why did he send 32 governors? What was that scarecrow wey Davido pull for social media, what was all that about?” Ogbeide said.

She also referred to comments attributed to Davido, who had previously said he would no longer endorse any presidential candidate, as well as his criticism of Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

“He said ‘we are not endorsing any President again’, he called out Akpabio as well, what was all that?” she asked.

Ogbeide further questioned Adeleke’s decision to appreciate political figures whom she believed had worked against him during the election campaign.

“So after you survived that storm, the next thing was to go thank the people that planned against you?” she said.

The influencer also accused the governor of placing political interests above the concerns of Osun residents.

“You don’t care about the people, what do you take the people for? You used the people to play politics that openly and disrespectfully,” she said.

She further questioned the governor’s decision to endorse Tinubu, noting that the President does not belong to Adeleke’s political party.

“The President you are endorsing is not a member of your party, so what was that about?” she added.

Adeleke had earlier reaffirmed his endorsement of Tinubu for a second term during a press conference following his re-election. He described Tinubu as a son of Osun State and commended the President for what he described as his support for a free and fair election.

The governor was declared the winner of the August 15 Osun governorship election after securing 511,067 votes, defeating APC candidate Bola Oyebamiji, who polled 444,815 votes.
