Adeleke Dismisses Defection Rumours, Reaffirms Loyalty To PDP by TruthsFM(op): 10:26am On Jul 05, 2025
Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has reaffirmed his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), while dismissing reports alleging that he is defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Adeleke, in a statement on Saturday by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, expressed concern about the widespread rumour and reassured his supporters and admirers that he remains a member of the PDP and the leader of the party in the state.

Reiterating his commitment to implementing his administration’s five-point agenda, the governor urged the people of Osun to disregard fake news. This was as he promised to deliver more good governance and democratic dividends.

“I assure the good people of Osun that I remain part and parcel of the PDP family. I am not defecting to any party,” the governor was quoted as saying.

Meanwhile, the Osun chapter of the PDP has described the defection speculation as the handiwork of rejected politicians and the opposition.

In a statement, PDP Chairman in Osun, Sunday Bisi, said the characters behind the rumours were jittery over the towering achievements of Adeleke’s administration in all critical sectors.

He said, “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-centred progress being made.

“Let it also be known that the PDP administration, in line with its open-door policy, remains transparent and inclusive. The good people of Osun will continue to be carried along in all political and governance processes.
Your voices are heard, your feedbacks are 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.”

After meeting the president with no guarantee of winning he want to play game to feel relevant. What have you done for the people of Osun state? Once voters hate any politician, they can vote a fly just to replace that politician without thinking of the other man's policies. So pathetic.

The ADC is for 2027 and their main goal is to unseat Tinubu. Osun election is in 2026. So defecting to ADC now is not advisable for him.

Says someone who celebrated the rumour of his defection. Why is Tinubu obsessed with defectors? Can't he run on his own strength and popularity? Tell Tinubu to release Osun State local government allocations. Jackson won't be blackmailed or intimidated to defect.

Since he has come out to deny it.

Then it proves that the man is gone!

This is how Delta, Akwa Ibom, too, denied their recent defections.

Spineless, unprincipled men who stand for nothing and fall for anything.

Whose raison d'etre is the accumulation of filthy lucre

We thank God he is doing good works even the APC can attest to it .. They don't know what to sell to their members again, most likely some of them want to defect .. they use Local Government to hold them down,now they are using defection rumors.

In Osun state, Gov. Adeleke is the number King of Dance.
So joining the Collation team, will set him back. He will need to compete with numerous Dancers from other Party to remain number 1 at ADC.
I think he decided to gum himself with PDP in OSUN, to avoid d stress to compete for vigorous dancing competitions grin

Adeleke is a goner, I predicted his OTG barely a year in office; just dancing in every opportunity, fighting political leaders of his own party, family affairs appointments and using tugs to chase away opposition. Mind you I'm from Okefia in Oshogbo near SSG family house.

TILL THEN

You people don't get it

For a someone seeking re-election it's difficult cos pdp is finished

Who are the support he will get when he's campaigning

Is it wike that will come support him or segun showummi or Atiku or seyi makinde

It's better for him to even move to apga and contest under apga

The mission to destroy PDP and lp was successful, thanks to tinubu, but unfortunately they people quickly jump ship

Any Governor that openly declares for ADC does not love his people….he cannot also be sure of second term or even finishing his first term without a State of Emergency being declared in his State. In fact, monthly allocation to his State may no longer be guaranteed….afterall OBJ seized Lagos State allocation for several months under Tinubu and got away with it.
So, let’s see which stupid Governor will dare Tinubu nah! grin grin grin
