Just In: Adeleke breaks silence on defecting from PDP to APC

Senator Ademola Adeleke, the Osun State Governor, has dismissed reports alleging that he joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

TheNewsGuru reports that Adeleke reaffirmed his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), reassuring his supporters and admirers that he remains a member of the PDP and the leader of the party in the state.

It would be recalled that rumours had emerged on Friday after claiming that the Osun state governor has concluded plans to dump the PDP and contest for his re-election in the APC.

But in a statement to TNG on Saturday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Governor Adeleke, who restated his preoccupation with the implementation of the administration’s five point agenda, urged Osun people to ignore fake news, promising more delivery of good governance and democratic dividends.

“I assure the good people of Osun that I remain part and parcel of the PDP family. I am not defecting to any party”, the governor was quoted as clarifying.
