Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has debunked claims that he plans to defect to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) or align with any of its leaders ahead of the 2026 governorship election
In a statement issued on Friday by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, Adeleke described the reports as unfounded and reaffirmed his loyalty to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“Our attention has been drawn to news reports and media enquiries about the imminent defection of Governor Adeleke to the ADC or alignment with ADC bigwigs ahead of the 2026 governorship race. There is no truth in those publications and speculations,” the statement read.
He further clarified that the PDP in Osun State had already endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election, adding, “There is no alliance with ADC.”
“Governor Adeleke has no alliance with anyone in ADC. He remains in PDP, will run in PDP, and needs no alliance with ADC to win with a wide margin in 2026.”
The statement highlighted Adeleke’s achievements in office, which the governor believes have earned him strong support from the people of Osun.
“The Osun electorate supports Governor Adeleke because of his impressive performance since he came to office. That good work is still ongoing, and Osun people are committed to sustaining the delivery of good governance by re-electing Governor Adeleke in 2026.”
Adeleke urged PDP members across the state to continue strengthening party structures in preparation for another electoral victory.
