An Ado-Ekiti mini-truck driver, Adeleye Adeniyi, popularly known as “Online Loan Man for BAO”, has revealed that he took a N3.5 million loan to back the re-election campaigns of President Bola Tinubu, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele and Ekiti State House of Assembly member Steve Fatoba.
In a video interview circulating on Friday, Adeniyi displayed a Wema Bank cardboard cheque showing the breakdown: N2 million for Tinubu, N1 million for Bamidele and N500,000 for Fatoba.
He said he decided to borrow the money because of what he described as the politicians’ strong performance in office and was ready to campaign actively for them ahead of the next elections.
“I am supporting Mr President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for his second-term ambition. I have borrowed money. I want to use this money to support him because he’s doing a very great job,” Adeniyi stated.
He added that he would go out to campaign and use the song “On your mandate, we shall stand” in support of the President. He also urged Nigerians to vote for Tinubu, Bamidele and Fatoba, expressing confidence that a second term would bring even greater benefits.
Adeniyi further praised Bamidele and Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji for their work in healthcare, education, electricity and rural infrastructure. He described Bamidele as a good leader whose projects had encouraged him.This is not the first time the driver has taken a loan for political support.
In February 2026, he reportedly borrowed money through the digital lending platform OPay to brand a vehicle in favour of Governor Oyebanji’s second-term bid. Adeniyi operates around the BAO Timber Market along Ilawe Road in Ado-Ekiti and has previously cited the governor’s and Tinubu’s policies on education, healthcare and citizens’ welfare as reasons for his support.
