The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has disclosed that Governor Ademola Adeleke was rejected because he was a liability that would hurt the party’s integrity.
The Osun APC statement, which was signed by the party chairman, Tajudeen Lawal, on Wednesday in Osogbo, is coming on the heels of a communiqué released after a meeting by the Osun State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Leadership Caucus.
The communiqué, which was signed by Governor Adeleke and twenty-seven other chieftains of the party, decried the resistance against the planned defection of Governor Adeleke to the APC.
Lawal, however, in the APC statement, alleged that it was the fear of the impending 2026 governorship election defeat that motivated Governor Adeleke to desperately seek asylum in the APC.
He said, “We state first of all that the highly informed Osun State public, who are aware that it was the fear of the impending 2026 election defeat that motivated the governor to desperately seek in our party an asylum for his political survival in 2026, are excited about the measured treatment meted to the Osun State governor and his desperate party men.
It is no longer news that the Osun PDP has become a leprous house deserted by decent politicians with intention to serve the people.
From 2023, when the party began to morally emaciate and became a war loot of the Adeleke dynasty, bright minds and people with good names to protect, who could not tolerate the deceit, shenanigans, and high-level corruption and brigandage the Adeleke government represents, daily troop out from the tattered umbrella into our party, thus leaving the PDP with carcasses and political dregs with no structure and hope to retain power in future elections.
Therefore, the self-adulation of the PDP caucus that it remains the most popular party in Osun State is merely self-consolatory, as the claim could not be substantiated with facts.
