The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has debunked speculations that Governor Ademola Adeleke is considering defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) amid the ongoing local government crisis in the state.
Naija News reports that PDP spokesperson in Osun, Oladele Bamiji, in an interview with Punch, said the governor had “never at any time informed his supporters or the party structure of plans to dump the PDP for the APC or any other political platform.”
He said, “First of all, we have to understand that the governor was elected on the platform of the party, and the people of Osun State invested their hope and trust in the governor through the platform of the PDP, and he has consistently said he is not leaving the PDP for APC.
“Maybe what people are misplacing for making a move is his support for President Bola Tinubu to succeed. But concerning joining APC, I’m not aware of that; the governor has never informed any of us who are his aides that he is joining the APC.
“Like our present situation in the state, the orchestrated crisis in our local governments might be another ploy by the APC to force the governor’s hand into their party.
“But His Excellency is a man of conscience and he is ready to serve the people of the state under the platform of the party on which he won the election.”
