The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has debunked the report that the state governor, Ademola Adeleke is planning to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
PDP in its reaction to the speculation described the claims on social media as fallacious and cheap lies.
An unconfirmed report on social media on Friday claimed that Governor Adeleke has sent emissaries to the president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The report (not by our platform) claimed that the Osun State Governor plans to defect to the APC in the coming days.
However, the Caretaker Chairman of the party, Akindele Adekunle on Friday noted that the rumour is a failed distraction agenda.
He called on voters in the state to troop out en masse on March 11 and vote for PDP candidates in the House of Assembly election.
The statement reads, “Let me urge the public to discard the rumour of defection. There is no reason for it, especially given the impressive victory he led the PDP to just a few days ago at the Presidential and National Assembly elections in Osun State.
“Osun APC is badly decimated and is struggling to even find its feet. Governor Adeleke has within 100 days proved that good governance is possible, hence the massive goodwill the PDP currently enjoys across the state. So voters should ignore the lies from the pit of hell. Governor Adeleke remains a PDP leader and Governor.”
Akindele added that Governor Adeleke remained committed to the PDP, adding that the victory of the party in the Presidential and National Assembly elections is proof of his commitment.
He added, “The PDP will repeat the same feat on March 11th by clearing all the twenty-six assembly seats in the state.”
