Contrary to his stand to remain in the People’s Democratic Party, (PDP) Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, seems to have reneged, going by indications that he has concluded arrangements to berth at the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Governor Adeleke’s resolve is further consolidated by the position of the leadership of the PDP in the state which vowed to back him.
Osun PDP leadership caucus on Saturday passed a vote of confidence on Adeleke, unanimously supporting any decision the Governor takes on the growing rumour of defection to another political party.
The leaders, who praised the Governor’s leadership and performance in office, mandated him to continue consultations with all stakeholders locally and nationally.
The caucus meeting has in attendance representatives of all sections of the party and government namely the National Assembly caucus, the State Assembly caucus, the State Executive Council, the State Executive of the party, the Special Advisers’ Forum, the elders caucus and the state chapter of ALGON leadership.
The meeting was held at the Banquet hall of the Government House with detailed discussions and contributions by all leaders in attendance.
Olawale Rasheed, the governor’s spokesman, revealed that after briefing from the Governor and exhaustive deliberations by leaders, the meeting issued a communique to signal its direction on the issue at the moment.
In the communique, the PDP State leadership resolved to follow Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke wherever he goes.
The meeting, however, recognized that the Governor is still consulting on next lines of action.
The meeting was attended by the Governor, deputy, Kola Adewusi; Senate Deputy Minority leader, Senator Lere Oyewumi; Hon Bamidele Sallam; Hon Clement Olohunwa; Hon Taofeek Abimbola Ajilesoro; High Chief (Mrs) Modupeole Adeleke.
