Osogbo – Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has dismissed rumours suggesting he plans to defect to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing the reports as false and politically motivated.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, the governor reaffirmed his allegiance to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stating he has no intention of leaving the party.
“The report is not only untrue but 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,” the statement read.
Governor Adeleke alleged that political opponents, threatened by his popularity, were behind the speculation in an attempt to mislead the public.
