Summary: The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has accused Governor Ademola Adeleke of secretly attempting to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC but failing due to unmet conditions, including the denial of an automatic governorship ticket. The party likened Adeleke’s actions to a secretive betrayal and criticized him for misleading PDP stakeholders about his intentions.
In response, Governor Adeleke’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, dismissed the APC’s claims as false and politically motivated. He asserted that Adeleke has no need to join the APC, citing his strong performance in office, broad public support, and recent endorsement by workers for a second term. He added that the APC’s allegations are attempts to deflect from their internal crises and history of poor governance.
