Ademola Adeleke, governor of Osun, has rejected claims of
his potential defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The governor declared his loyalty to the party during a
strategic meeting with party leaders on Thursday night.
Adeleke said rumours of his defection from the party should
be taken as fake news.
“My people, party elders and chiefs, I declare before you
today that I am not defecting to APC or any other political party. I remain in
PDP. Ignore any fake news,” he said.
The governor’s remarks come in the wake of the defection of
prominent figures from the party.
The closed-door meeting, held at the Banquet Hall of the
government house, was attended by PDP bigwigs, including Olagunsoye Oyinlola,
ex-governor of Osun, who addressed the participants virtually.
Wale Oladipo, chairman of Imole Movement, said the PDP
remains a home for those who genuinely care for the people of Osun.
Oluwole Alabi, the 1999 governorship candidate of the PDP
and member of the PDP board of trustees, alongside Lasun Yusuf, former deputy
speaker of the house of representatives, described the PDP as a vehicle for
development and human empowerment.
Akanni Olohunwa, a member of the house of representatives,
highlighted “the positive transformation occurring in Osun under the PDP’s
leadership” and expressed confidence in the party’s success in future electoral
contests.
The meeting, coordinated by Sunday Bisi, Osun PDP chairman,
was attended by Adewale Egbedun, speaker of the house of assembly, and other
members of the legislature.
