Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has denied joining the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Naijaonpoint reports that Adeleke reaffirmed his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Recall that rumours had emerged on Friday after claiming that the Osun state governor has concluded plans to dump the PDP and contest for his re-election in the APC.
But in a statement to Naijaonpoint on Saturday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Governor Adeleke noted with concern the widespread rumour.
He reassured his supporters and admirers that he remains a member of the PDP and the leader of the party in the state.
Governor Adeleke, who restated his preoccupation with the implementation of the administration’s five point agenda, urged Osun people to ignore fake news, promising more delivery of good governance and democratic dividends.
“I assure the good people of Osun that I remain part and parcel of the PDP family. I am not defecting to any party”, the governor was quoted as clarifying.
Governor Adeleke, alongside his elder brother Deji Adeleke and Afrobeats star David Adeleke, also known as Davido, had recently met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at his Lagos State residence some weeks back.
