Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has disclosed that he has no plan to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) or any political coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
This follows rumours that the governor plans to defect due to mounting pressures from both parties.
Reacting to the claims, the governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed in a statement to newsmen on Saturday, urged the supporters to ignore such rumours.
Reaffirming Adeleke’s membership to the PDP, Rasheed said, “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”.
Recall that the Osun State chapter of the PDP had dismissed claims that Governor Ademola Adeleke was involved in any political coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking in Osogbo on Tuesday, the Osun PDP chairman, Sunday Bisi, affirmed that Governor Adeleke remains fully committed to PDP and is not part of any coalition led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
This clarification follows reports that Atiku, a former presidential candidate of the PDP, has formed a new coalition under the African Democratic Congress, ADC, to challenge the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the 2027 general elections.
Bisi also added that the party in Osun State remained united and committed to its goals under the current leadership and had no interest in joining any political alliance or coalition.
