A leading gubernatorial aspirant under the platform of the All Progressives Congress(APC) in Osun State, Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji, has reacted to the likely defection of Governor Ademola Adeleke to the ruling party.
Oyebamiji, who is the Managing Director of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) noted that the rumour that the governor plans to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the APC has not caused him sleepless nights.
During his continuous consultation at Obokun and Oriade Local Government Areas of Ijesa-North Federal Constituency on Saturday, the NIWA boss noted that the leadership of the party is in control of the situation, adding that nothing can destabilise APC’s structure in Osun.
He said, “Though our leader, Honourable Minister of Marine and Blue Economy Adegboyega Oyetola is coming to tell you everything as regards the defection rumour of the current Governor, Ademola Adeleke, into our revered party – APC, he sent me to tell you that there is no cause for alarm. He asked me to let you know that there is nothing to fear. Our leaders are in charge and no reason to panic. The leaders are in control. No one will reap the fruit of your labour.
“As regards the councils’ imbroglio, our Minister is doing excellently well to ensure that justice prevails no matter whose ox is gored. Our councils are in the control of our elected chairmen and councillors and by the grace of God they will be in the control till we return to government come 2026.”
