The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State, Sunday Bisi has broken silence on the rumored defection of Governor Ademola Adeleke to the All Progressives Congress.
Bisi in a statement on Saturday debunked the rumour, describing it as “unfounded”.
The social media was awashed yesterday (Friday) with rumour that Governor Adeleke has concluded plans to move to the APC.
Bisi who was reacting to the development, said the “falsehood, clearly orchestrated by jittery elements within the opposition, is a desperate attempt to distract the people of Osun State from the ongoing transformation being championed by His Excellency, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke.
“We understand the tension and anxiety these rumours have generated among our teeming members, supporters and stakeholders. Let it be firmly stated that the PDP remains intact, cohesive, and more committed than ever to the renewed mission of rescuing and rebuilding Osun State. Those peddling the lie of decamping are merely rejected politicians and agents of retrogression, who are terrified by the growing popularity and performance of Governor Adeleke, despite their continued attempts to derail the people-centered progress being made.
“Let it also be known that the PDP administration, in line with its open-door policy, remains transparent and inclusive. The good people of Osun will continue to be carried along in all political and governance processes.
“Your voices are heard, your feedbacks are valued, and your concerns are being addressed with utmost sincerity.
“We urge the citizens of Osun to dismiss the mischief of those whose only legacy is to plunder the resources of our dear state. The Adeleke administration, backed by the PDP, is focused on service delivery, responsive governance, and the upliftment of all communities across our dear state.
“To the people of Osun, your unrelenting support, constant engagement, and public show of love are not taken for granted. We remain grateful and even more committed to the collective dreams of a greater Osun State.”
