Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has reinvigorated his awareness to the people of the state of his membership in the ruling Peoples Democratic Party ahead of the 2026 governorship election.

There has been speculation that the governor was moving to the opposition All Progressives Congress after meeting with President Bola Tinubu.

Also, the recent defection of two Osun State senators from the PDP to the APC has heightened the rumoured defection of the governor, as the movement of the senators was described as an advance party for Adeleke.

However, sources have revealed that the governor’s negotiation with top APC politicians to actualise his defection has failed to yield desired results.

It was gathered that some top APC officials, leading the negotiations, have hit a brick wall as the Osun APC group is hellbent on not allowing the governor to join the party.

A chieftain of APC and former Osun State Deputy Governor, Iyiola Omisore, had said the party had rejected the governor’s bid to take membership of APC.

Speaking at the flag-off of the second phase of the dualisation of Osogbo -Ikirun-Kwara boundary road on Monday, Adeleke told residents and party supporters that he remains in the party.

Dismissing rumour over his defection move, Adeleke said, “I remain fully in PDP.”

Good. Adeleke should contest in PDP. Meanwhile the 2 Senators that decamped to APC last week has meet APC leader, ex- Governor Oyetola in his office yesterday. They are all welcome to APC family.

Adeleke is very smart
Don’t be deceived
He doesn’t trust Tinubu

Somebody whose defection was rejected and you are already changing the narration as if the rejecter is the rejected. You obviously lack integrity

I do not expect Oyetola to contest again in the next Osun state election.

He was voted out because of his poor performance

They rejected his fat dancing Jacksonian 4ss

Adeleke's a goner. In all the 3 senatorial district in Osun, Demola Adeleke will receive massive defeat in August 8th, 2026 governorship election

Oyetola will contest and defeat Adeleke massively. Osun State electorates reject Adeleke with all their strengths. Adeleke's defeat is sacrosanct.

Shawarmagirl:
He should Decamp to ADC because PDP is highjacked by Wike

ADC has reject Adeleke too. Infact Aregbesola has his own governorship candidate. The ticket is between Alhaji Moshood Adeoti from Iwo or Ex speaker, Honourable salam

Adeleke will go down in history as the first governor denied joining opposition in a state. Aregbesola supported him and today they are not in talking time and he has since joined ADC. Adeleke is the real OTP if he remains in pdp. Where is Davido who keep bragging before about is uncle second is socrasant. Money is not everything in politics.

you should by now knows ipob members. They always quickly twist talk.

Whereas Tinubu is bribing other governors to decamp to the APC, another governor has been steadily begging to join for free and has now been finally denied.
Crystal clear that this man is not coming back.

Breaking news....

Osun APC is the first political party in history to ever reject a sitting Governor seeking to join our party 🤣🤣🤣APC 😁😁😁.

His rejection was based on his poor performance as governor and as a progressive,we can't risk to have him in our party🤣🤣🤣.

Osun: I’m not leaving PDP — Gov Adeleke

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has refuted his rumoured defection, saying he is going nowhere but remains in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.


Governor Adeleke made this known on Monday after the flag-off of the dualisation of the 3.5km Ila township road in Ila-Orangun, adding that his promised path is to serve the people and that he would not relent in doing so.

He expressed happiness over the inauguration of the dualisation of the Ila township road project despite what he described as the lingering uncertainties in the nation.


The governor said he had vowed to God and the good people of the state that he is committed to serving them and would never be distracted from the vow to serve the people of the state.

He boasted that his administration has so far completed the reconstruction, rehabilitation, and renovation of over 175 kilometres of roads, while several dualisation and flyover projects are at various stages of completion across the state.

According to him, the completion of the dualisation of the Osogbo–Ikirun–Inisha–Okuku–Ijabe and finally Ila Odo road, which is the boundary town with neighbouring Kwara State, a total length of 39km, is of paramount importance to his administration, expressing commitment to the completion of the project.


“I was elected on the platform of the PDP and so shall I remain in the party. I’m not going anywhere.

“The second phase, which we are flagging off today, is almost the same length as what was completed in 12 years. By the grace of God, we intend to deliver this project within 12 months.

“Our gathering here to witness the materialisation of a new era is not an accident of history. We are all programmed by Almighty God to be what we have been, what we are, and what we will be in the future,” he said.
