The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) caucus in Osun has pledged their support for any decision made by the state’s Governor, Ademola Adeleke, amid speculation of his defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Adeleke had been subjected to speculation of likely defecting to APC ahead of the August 8, 2026 governorship election in the state.
However, Malam Olawale Rasheed, the spokesperson for the governor in a statement on Saturday in Osogbo, said the PDP caucus gave their support to the governor’s decision during a meeting on Thursday in Osogbo.
Rasheed also said the caucus passed a vote of confidence in Adeleke, urging him to continue consultations with all stakeholders locally and nationally.
He said the caucus also commended the governor’s leadership style and performance in office.
Rasheed added that the PDP caucus, in a communiqué issued at the end of its meeting held at the Government House, resolved to follow Adeleke wherever he goes.
He, however, recognised the fact that the governor was still consulting on the next line of action.
According to him, the meeting has in attendance members of the national and state assemblies, the state executive council, executives of the party, the Special Advisers’ Forum, the Elders Caucus, and the state chapter of ALGON leadership.
