Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has dismissed speculation that he plans to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC), insisting that he remains a committed and loyal member of the PDP.
Speaking shortly after the inaugural meeting of the Accommodation Sub-Committee for the party’s forthcoming national convention, Adeleke, who serves as Deputy Chairman of the National Convention Organising Committee, said he has no intention “now or in the near future” to leave the PDP.
PDP Will Emerge Stronger After Convention
The governor expressed confidence that the PDP will overcome its internal challenges and come out stronger after the convention scheduled for October 15 and 16, 2025.
“Some people say I might be planning to join the APC because I have friends there or have been seen attending their events. I’m a very civilised person. If I have friends in the APC and they invite me to a wedding or social function, I will attend. That doesn’t mean I’m joining them,” Adeleke clarified.
He emphasised that his loyalty remains with the PDP, adding, “As we speak, I am the Deputy Chairman of our convention, which holds on the 15th and 16th of October, and I remain a loyal member of the PDP. I also chair the Accommodation Committee.”
Adeleke noted that the PDP’s strength lies in its ability to remain organised and united despite political turbulence. He also took a swipe at those spreading rumours of his defection, saying the party focuses on results rather than propaganda.
“The PDP does not believe in propaganda or endless talk. Many people from other parties are also defecting, that’s politics. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow, but everyone has the right to do as they wish,” he said.
Reaffirming his commitment to the success of the PDP convention, Adeleke added, “Our focus is on unity, organisation, and success. By God’s grace, our convention will be a great success, and the PDP will continue to grow from strength to strength.”
