Ado-Ekiti Driver Borrows N3.5m to Support Tinubu's Campaign

Adeleye Adeniyi, a mini-truck driver from Ado-Ekiti, has borrowed N3.5 million to fund his personal campaign supporting President Bola Tinubu, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele, and Ekiti State member Steve Fatoba for the upcoming 2027 general elections. In a video interview that circulated on October 9, 2026, Adeniyi detailed his financial allocations: N2 million for Tinubu, N1 million for Bamidele, and N500,000 for Fatoba.

He expressed his backing was motivated by the politicians' performances in their respective offices and urged Nigerians to vote for them, believing Tinubu would achieve even greater results in a second term. Adeniyi also praised Governor Biodun Oyebanji for improvements in healthcare, education, electricity, and rural infrastructure.

This is not his first instance of borrowing for political support; in February 2026, he took a loan to promote Oyebanji's re-election bid, driven by admiration for the governor's administration.
