Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has dismissed insinuations that he was planning to join the African Democratic Congress.
The governor, who made this known in a statement signed by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, obtained in Osogbo on Wednesday, described the report purporting he was planning to join ADC as “A calculated attempt by those afraid of the Governor’s soaring acceptability to create confusion and uncertainty in the minds of the people of Osun state.”
Our correspondent reports that Adeleke had previously been said to be considering defecting to the All Progressives Congress.
As if to lend credence to the rumour, Adeleke and the leadership caucus of PDP also declared support for the reelection of President Bola Tinubu in the year 2027.
The move, however, fell through, with Adeleke saying some forces prevented him from joining the APC.Subsequently pledged to remain in the Peoples Democratic Party and contest the next governorship poll on the platform of the party.
Recently, fresh insinuations, however, emerged that Adeleke was planning to join ADC, due to the disagreement between the two contending forces fighting over control of the national leadership of the PDP.
