President Bola Tinubu is currently meeting with the newly elected Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Adeleke arrived at the forecourt of the Villa at about 5:25 pm on Thursday, August 20, 2026.
The governor arrived alongside the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.
The meeting marks Adeleke’s first known engagement with President Tinubu since his re-election in last Saturday’s Osun State governorship election.
It was reported that Tinubu had earlier called to congratulate Adeleke on his victory, describing the outcome as an assurance that democracy would continue to thrive in Nigeria.
The President also urged the governor to unite the people of Osun State irrespective of their political affiliations and choices during the election.
Several other officials from Osun State were also seen arriving at the Presidential Villa shortly after Adeleke.
They include the Director-General of the Adeleke Campaign Council, Senator Lere Oyewumi; a member of the council, Sunday Bisi; the Chief of Staff to the Osun State Governor, Akinleye Kazeem; and the member of the House of Representatives representing Ede North/Ede South/Egbedore/Ejigbo Federal Constituency, Bamidele Salam.
The purpose and details of the closed-door meeting were not immediately disclosed as of the time of filing this report.
