The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun state, on Saturday, said the state Governor, Ademola Adeleke will not dump the party.
Caretaker Chairman of the state chapter of the PDP, Dr. Akindele Adekunle, who stated this in a statement, said the rumour of Adeleke’s defection allegedly emanated from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and was circulated on social media.
According to the statement, the insinuation is a failed distraction agenda.
It also called on Osun voters to troop out en masse and vote for all the PDP candidates in the state Assembly elections on March 11.
The statement added that Adeleke remained ever committed to the PDP as demonstrated in the presidential and National Assembly elections, stressing that the PDP would repeat the same feat on March 11 by clearing all the 26 Assembly seats in the state.
The statement read in part, “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 the state.
“The Osun APC is badly decimated and is struggling to even find its feet. Governor Adeleke has within 100 days proven 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,” it concluded.
