Rasheed then announced Adeleke’s continued membership in the PDP and predicted that the incumbent governor of Osun will win the state’s next governorship election by a significant margin using the party’s platform.
“Our attention has been drawn to news reports and media enquiries about the imminent defection of Governor Ademola to the ADC or alignment with ADC bigwigs ahead of the 2026 governorship race. There is no truth in those publications and speculations.
He went on to say that Adeleke’s outstanding performance since taking office has earned the approval of the Osun electorate.
