.Blames Osun APC for frustrating Gov’s defection to party
TUNDE ADELEKE, Osogbo
The Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and the Osun State chapter of the PDP, formally endorsed President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for a second term in office.
This is just as the Governor blamed the APC in the state for frustrating his move to defect to the party, citing internal hostility and rejection from key APC stakeholders.
This was contained in a communique signed by the Governor and other Osun PDP leadership caucus at the end of a meeting held at the State Government House, Osogbo.
According to the communique, the leadership embarked on wide-ranging consultations with stakeholders across the state before arriving at their decisions.
The communique reads in part, “Following extensive consultations, debates, surveys, opinion sampling from traditional rulers, community leaders, civil servants, retirees, religious leaders, market men and women, interactions with members of the PDP and the general public across major towns and villages in Osun State, on issues pertaining to recent political developments in the state, the Leadership Caucus of Osun PDP hereby reviewed as follows:
“That the majority of the members of the APC in Osun State are opposed to the idea of the defection of Governor Adeleke to the APC, which did not originate from the governor in the first instance. Some APC leaders based on entrenched interests have demonstrated hostility and resentment towards Governor Ademola Adeleke.
Some went on social media and national television to call Governor Adeleke all kinds of unprintable names.
“That the majority of PDP members in Osun State are not happy about the idea of the defection of Governor Adeleke to APC, but only reluctantly agreed to follow Governor Adeleke to wherever he goes to show their love, support and loyalty to his leadership.”
Consequently, the leaders hereby resolve as follows: That the PDP in Osun State recognizes the fact that Osun State is the ancestral home of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which makes the President the son of Osun State.
Therefore, the PDP in Osun State hereby, adopts, and endorses President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for re-election in the 2027 presidential election.
“That PDP in Osun State reaffirms its adoption and endorsement of Governor Ademola Adeleke for re-election in the 2026 governorship election on the platform of the PDP.
“That Governor Ademola Adeleke and all members of the PDP in Osun State should remain in the PDP.”
