The People’s Democratic Party in Osun State has denied claims that the State Governor, Ademola Adeleke would defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC).
This is coming after rumors started making rounds on Friday that Governor Adeleke and the entire Osun PDP would defect into the APC.
In a statement, on Saturday, signed by the state PDP chairman, Sunday Bisi, he disclosed that neither the Governor nor the entire structure would ever join the APC.
He described the rumor as a mischief while assuring all that Osun PDP remains transparent and inclusive and the people would be fed in on everything that goes on therein.
He said; “This falsehood, clearly orchestrated by jittery elements within the opposition, is a desperate attempt to distract the people of Osun State from the ongoing transformation being championed by His Excellency, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke.
“We understand the tension and anxiety these rumours have generated among our teeming members, supporters, and stakeholders. Let it be firmly stated that the PDP remains intact, cohesive, and more committed than ever to the renewed mission of rescuing and rebuilding Osun State.
“Those peddling the lie of decamping are merely rejected politicians and agents of retrogression, who are terrified by the growing popularity and performance of Governor Adeleke, despite their continued attempts to derail the people-centered progress being made.
“Your voices are heard, your feedback is valued, and your concerns are being addressed with utmost sincerity.
“We urge the citizens of Osun to dismiss the mischief of those whose only legacy is to plunder the resources of our dear state. The Adeleke administration, backed by the PDP, is focused on service delivery, responsive governance, and the upliftment of all communities across our dear state.
“To the people of Osun, your unrelenting support, constant engagement, and public show of love are not taken for granted. We remain grateful and even more committed to the collective dreams of a greater Osun State.”
