Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State is not defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to any other political party, contrary to recent media speculations.

This clarification was made by the Governor’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, who debunked rumours suggesting an imminent defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“The media speculation about likely or imminent defection is fake news. Governor Adeleke remains a committed member and leader of the PDP in Osun State,” Rasheed stated.

He further explained that the recent visit by the Adeleke family to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was simply a routine courtesy call and should not be misinterpreted.

“Any reading of a defection agenda into the visit is mere fake news,” he emphasized.

Governor Adeleke’s reaffirmation of his loyalty to the PDP comes amid rising political tensions and realignments ahead of future elections.
