Governor Adeleke defecting to APC soon? PDP reacts to rumour

Meanwhile, rumours of Governor Ademola Adeleke dumping the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC) have been dismissed. The Osun state chapter of the PDP described the rumour being spread on social media as fallacious and cheap lies.

In a statement signed by its caretaker chairman, Dr Akindele, the party claimed the rumour emanated from the APC.

Akindele called the report a failed distraction agenda, as he urged Osun voters to troop out en masse and vote for PDP candidates in the coming election on March 11. He expressed optimism that the PDP will clear all 26 assembly seats in the state on March 11. The caretaker chairman added that Adeleke has shown that good governance is possible within 100 days, adding that the Osun governor remains ever committed to the PDP.
