Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has declared he is not defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Adeleke spoke at a meeting with leaders of the Osun State chapter of the PDP on Wednesday.
The governor was reacting to reports suggesting he has left the PDP for the ruling party.
Adeleke described rumours of his defection as baseless.
He claimed they were spread by those threatened by the state’s progress under his leadership.
Adeleke said, “My people, party elders and chiefs, I declare before you today that I am not defecting to APC or any other political party.
“I remain in PDP. Ignore any fake news.”
The Eastern Updates reports that the meeting which was held at the Banquet Hall of the Government House in Osogbo, brought together top Osun PDP leaders, with former Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola participating virtually.
The Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, has dismissed speculations that former President Muhammadu Buhari, former Attorney General Abubakar Malami, and others may leave the All Progressives Congress, APC, before the 2027 general election.
He stated this in response to rumours circulating that members of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change, CPC bloc were threatening to leave the APC after allegedly being sidelined by the Bola Tinubu administration.
Speaking in Lafia on Friday, Sule insisted that those attempting to divide the party’s ranks have failed.
“There is nothing like taking CPC away. Our father, former President Muhammadu Buhari is CPC, no other person.
“When he says CPC is with you, CPC is with you and the day he says CPC is not with you CPC is not with you.
“He keeps carrying his 12 million voters along with him anywhere he goes and he is not going anywhere from APC.
