The Speaker of Osun House of Assembly, Mr. Adewale Egbedun, on Friday, debunked the rumour that 25 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers had defected.
In a statement issued in Osogbo by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Olamide Tiamiyu, the speaker emphasised that the PDP lawmakers were solidly behind the governor of the state, Ademola Adeleke and the party.
He said those peddling the lies of defection were doing so to shortchange their paymasters, stating that nothing of such happened and would never happen.
“The 8th Osun Assembly will continue to collaborate with the governor to ensure impactful governance of the citizens and development of the state,” he said.
He, however, called on the governor not to be distracted by the noisemakers’ alarm, urging him to remain committed to his goals of transforming the state and the people.
“We appreciate the people of Osun State and appeal for their continuous support for the PDP-led government under the leadership of Gov. Adeleke,” the speaker said.
