Adeleke's Camp Denies Defection Rumors After Meeting Tinubu
The Imole Campaign Council has refuted claims that Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke is planning to defect from the Accord Party to the All Progressives Congress (APC) following his meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. In a statement released on Friday by Bamidele Salam, Chairman of the Media and Publicity Committee, the council characterized the visit as a customary political courtesy after the conclusion of off-cycle elections in Nigeria.
Adeleke, who recently won a second term in the August 15 governorship election, visited Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, marking their first known meeting since his victory. The council emphasized that the visit was to discuss peace, security, and progress in Osun State and that there was no discussion regarding Adeleke's potential defection to the APC.
The statement reassured supporters that the governor remains committed to governance in Osun State.
