Adeleke Denies Seat-Sharing Deal with APC in Osun
Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has refuted claims regarding an agreement to share legislative and local government positions with the All Progressives Congress (APC). In a statement from his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Adeleke clarified that these rumors arose from social media reports suggesting a deal between the Osun Accord and the APC for the upcoming elections.
He reaffirmed his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election while stating that negotiations concerning local government issues aim to protect the interests of both APC and PDP chairpersons and councillors. Adeleke described the reports of an agreement as “mere fabrication and fake news.” He emphasized that all legislative positions, including those for the Senate, House of Representatives, and State House of Assembly, would be open for competition, and he would campaign for Accord candidates.
He assured that the local government crisis would be resolved before the end of the year.
