The entire members of the Osun State Executive Council have expressed their total solidarity and unwavering support for the Governor and leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Senator Ademola Adeleke.

The solidarity support was contained in a statement by the State Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Oluomo Alimi Kolapo, made available to newsmen in Osogbo on Monday.

The members of the Executive Council also maintained their readiness to stand solidly, like the Rock of Gibraltar, behind Adeleke in his undying quest to take Osun to greater heights.

While also pledging their unalloyed loyalty to the ruling PDP in the state, under the leadership of Hon. Sunday Bisi, the Osun Executive members emphasised that no amount of the usual political shenanigans by opposition party members would be enough to derail the governor’s good intentions for the people, as exemplified by Senator Adeleke.

“Your Excellency, Mr Governor, we are using this opportunity to further affirm and reaffirm our love and unshakable solidarity with you and your administration in Osun State.

“We read and heard with great consternation the many insinuations being mischievously bandied about in certain political quarters, particularly by opposition parties, about the looming mass defection of Executive Council members from the ruling PDP to another political party.

“This is not only a political fallacy taken to the extreme but a careless and unguarded insinuation by the usual disgruntled members of the opposition party in the state.

“To this end, we are using this opportunity to state and reaffirm, again and again, that no amount of political gerrymandering currently being hatched by opposition party members in the state will make us party to destroying a house (PDP) which we fought tooth and nail to build.

“Come 2026, the entire people of Osun State will reenact the feat of returning Your Excellency, Senator Ademola Adeleke, as Governor of our dear state,” the statement added.
