Ignore Rumours Of Adeleke Defecting - Osun PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State has denied any plan by the state governor, Ademola Adeleke to quit the party.

The party also dismissed the rumour being spread on social media, describing it as fallacious and cheap lies.

The PDP in a statement signed by its Caretaker Chairman, Dr Akindele Adekunle on Friday stated that the rumour which emanated from the All Progressives Congress (APC) is a failed distraction agenda.

The party also called on Osun voters to troop out en masse and vote the PDP candidates on March 11.

Adding that Governor Adeleke remains ever committed to the PDP as evidently demonstrated in the Presidential and National Assembly elections, Adekunle stressed that PDP will repeat the same feat on March 11 by clearing all the twenty-six assembly seats in the state.

"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 Osun State.

"Osun APC is badly decimated and is struggling to even find its feet.

"Governor Adeleke has within 100 days proved 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 the governor," the statement posited.
