Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has said he made every effort within his capacity to keep things working in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), but noted that the situation has continued to deteriorate each day.
Adeleke stated this on Wednesday while responding to questions during an interview on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television monitored by news correspondents.
The governor had earlier announced his resignation from the PDP and his decision to join the Accord Party late Tuesday ahead of the Osun 2026 governorship election.
Adeleke on Wednesday emerged as the party’s governorship candidate during primaries conducted on Wednesday.
“I love PDP and I appreciate the fact that the party gave me platform for me to become senator and of course now, a governor.
“And so far so good, I just celebrated my three years anniversary as a governor of Osun State under the platform of PDP. But as you can see, I personally tried my best to balance the crisis that we have in the party, but everything seems to be falling apart everyday.
“I love my state. Had it been one does not need a platform to secure any nomination, I would have remained in the PDP but one needs a platform to contest an election, hence, my defection to the Accord Party,” he said.
