No defection on my mind – Adeleke declares loyalty to PDP

Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has dismissed speculations that he plans to defect from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), insisting that he remains fully committed to the PDP both now and in the foreseeable future.

Adeleke, who serves as the Deputy Chairman of the PDP National Convention Organising Committee, reaffirmed his loyalty to the party while addressing journalists shortly after the inaugural meeting of the Accommodation Sub-Committee for the upcoming national convention.

The governor expressed confidence that the PDP will overcome its current internal challenges, adding that the party will emerge stronger and more united ahead of the convention.

He stated: “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.

“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.

“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.

“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. Thank you, and God bless you all.”
