Adeleke’s Political Allegiance Questioned
Amid swirling rumors of a potential defection, Senator Iyiola Omisore has publicly criticized Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, calling him a ‘political orphan’ desperate to join the All Progressives Congress (APC). Omisore’s comments come as speculation grows over Adeleke’s political future following his meetings with APC leaders and President Bola Tinubu.
Defection Denials and Political Loyalty
Governor Adeleke has consistently denied any plans to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stating his commitment to the party and his focus on governance in Osun State. Despite these denials, the political landscape remains abuzz with speculation, especially after Adeleke’s private visit to President Tinubu, accompanied by family members including Afrobeats star Davido.
Political Repercussions and Party Dynamics
The situation highlights the ongoing internal struggles within the PDP and the allure of the APC for some of its members. With notable figures already defecting to the APC, the political dynamics in Osun State and beyond are under close scrutiny as parties prepare for future elections.
