Ahead of the event, Adeleke was appointed as the Osun State coordinator of the campaign council, positioning him as one of the party's key figures responsible for building grassroots support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid across the state.

His role places him among a group of state-level coordinators who are expected to lead the APC's mobilisation efforts in their respective states over the coming months.

Wednesday's inauguration is intended to formally activate the campaign council and mark the beginning of the ruling party's organised push towards the 2027 presidential election.
