Olagunsoye Oyinlola, former governor of Osun state and a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, has warned that Ademola Adeleke’s defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) would damage his political career.
Adeleke, governor of Osun, recently publicly endorsed
President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as his preferred
candidate for the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Thursday,
Oyinlola said Adeleke is under pressure to join the APC but insisted that such
a move would not be supported by the people of Osun.
“APC has not fared well with the people of Osun,” the former
governor said.
“Telling him to roll over to APC will mean ruining his
political future. Obviously, the people will not go along with that. He knows
that, but there is pressure on him.”
He highlighted ongoing governance challenges in the state,
noting that LG allocations have been withheld for six months, affecting service
delivery.
“It’s now six months since the local government allocation
in Osun state has been withheld, which means the people of Osun state have been
shortchanged because the local government is no longer running,” he said.
“As governor, whom the people have reposed their confidence
in to govern them well, he must do something to ensure that the government is
running well.”
