Adeleke Refutes Claims of Joining APC, Says ‘I Remain In PDP’ 

The Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has refuted claims of joining the All Progressives Congress (APC), the current ruling party.

Adeleke confirmed his continued affiliation with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Rumours had circulated on Friday alleging that the Osun State governor intended to leave the PDP and seek re-election under the APC banner.

But in a statement on Saturday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Governor Adeleke noted with concern the widespread rumour.

He reassured his supporters and admirers that he remains a member of the PDP and the leader of the party in the state.

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”, the governor was quoted as clarifying.

Governor Adeleke, alongside his elder brother Deji Adeleke and Afrobeats star David Adeleke, also known as Davido, had recently met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at his Lagos State residence some weeks back.
