Ademola Adeleke, the governor of Osun State, has refuted rumors that he is defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Governor Adeleke also reiterated his affiliation with the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in contrast to rumors that had been circulating.

Olawale Rasheed, the governor’s spokesperson, verified this in a statement released in Osogbo on Saturday.

The state governor assured his followers that he was still a member of the PDP and the party’s leader in the state, despite expressing concern about the numerous rumors of his alleged defection.

The statement reads, “Governor Adeleke who restated his preoccupation with the implementation of the administration’s five point agenda urged Osun people to ignore fake news, promising more delivery of good governance and democratic dividends.

“I assure the good people of Osun that I remain part and parcel of the PDP family. I am not defecting to any party”.

Prior to the general elections in 2027, ZINGTIE had previously reported that the PDP’s Osun State unit had denied allegations that Governor Ademola Adeleke was a member of any political alliance.

Sunday Bisi, the chairman of the Osun PDP, stated in a speech in Osogbo on Tuesday that Governor Adeleke is still totally dedicated to the PDP and does not belong to any coalition headed by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

This explanation comes in the wake of rumors that Atiku, a former PDP presidential candidate, has teamed up with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to run against the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the general elections of 2027.

Bisi further stated that the Osun State party has no interest in joining any coalition or political alliance and was still unified and dedicated to its objectives under the existing leadership.
