Osun Governor 1 (1) (1).webp
The Digest:

The rumoured defection of Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has sparked uncertainty, with sources revealing that his negotiations with top All Progressives Congress (APC) officials have faced significant hurdles, particularly from the Osun APC group.


Key Points:
  • Governor Adeleke is reportedly negotiating with APC leaders for a potential defection.
  • The recent defection of two Osun senators to APC has heightened speculation about Adeleke’s move.
  • However, APC officials, especially from Oyetola’s camp, are opposed to Adeleke’s entry into the party.
  • APC chieftain, Remi Omowaiye, criticized the governor’s approach, suggesting he should have followed the proper channels.
  • Adeleke’s camp claims negotiations with the Abuja APC are progressing despite resistance from local APC leaders.
  • Concerns about the governor’s performance, including issues with staffing and infrastructure, have fueled opposition.
  • A source close to the APC in Abuja indicates the negotiations have stalled, and Adeleke may remain in the PDP for the 2026 elections unless national APC leadership intervenes.

Governor Adeleke's planned defection to the APC faces resistance within the party, particularly from Osun APC leaders. Despite ongoing talks, his future in the PDP may be secured unless there is a shift in negotiations.
