A spokesperson for Governor Ademola Adeleke’s campaign alleges President Bola Tinubu congratulated Adeleke on his victory in the 2022 Osun State governorship election *before* the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officially announced the results. This claim raises questions about the timing of the congratulatory message and potential early knowledge of the outcome. The spokesperson did not disclose how this information was obtained, only asserting the congratulation occurred prior to the INEC declaration. This revelation surfaces as discussions around the 2026 Osun elections begin to emerge. The allegation could fuel debate concerning the integrity of the electoral process and perceived influence. Further investigation may be needed to verify the details of this claim and the context surrounding Tinubu’s reported congratulatory message.
