Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has dismissed rumours suggesting he plans to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing the reports as baseless.
Speaking shortly after the inaugural meeting of the Accommodation Sub-Committee for the upcoming PDP National Convention, Adeleke reaffirmed his commitment to the party, saying he has no intention “either now or in the near future” to leave the PDP.
The governor, who also serves as Deputy Chairman of the National Convention Organising Committee, stressed that the party remains united despite ongoing internal challenges.
“Some people say I might be planning to join the APC because I have friends there or have been seen attending their events. I’m a very civilised person. If I have friends in the APC and they invite me to a wedding or social function, I will attend. That doesn’t mean I’m joining them,” Adeleke said.
He added: “As we speak, I am the Deputy Chairman of our convention, which holds on the 15th and 16th of October, and I remain a loyal member of the PDP. I also chair the Accommodation Committee.”
Adeleke noted that the PDP does not dwell on propaganda but is focused on unity, organisation, and success.
“Our focus is on unity, organisation, and success. By God’s grace, our convention will be a great success, and the PDP will continue to grow from strength to strength,” he stated.
