Ademola Adeleke May Join APC After 2027 Elections
Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke may defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) following the 2027 general elections, according to sources familiar with the state's political dynamics. The governor is expected to join the ruling party along with his supporters, thereby becoming its state leader.
A source indicated that Adeleke's electoral achievements have established him as the most influential political figure in Osun, even within the APC, highlighting that he has defeated the APC twice without federal support. The source criticized other APC leaders in the state, questioning their electoral strength.
It was also mentioned that President Bola Tinubu had previously wanted Adeleke to represent the APC in the last governorship election, but this was opposed by other party leaders. The source pointed out that despite significant resources spent on the election, the outcome was unfavorable for the APC.
