Former Governor Advises Osun Leader To Protect Political Legacy

Olagunsoye Oyinlola, a former Osun State governor, has cautioned current Governor Ademola Adeleke against succumbing to pressure to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Speaking at a PDP event in Osogbo, Oyinlola warned that such a move would jeopardize Adeleke’s political future and alienate his voter base. The warning follows speculations of Adeleke’s interactions with APC chieftains, amid claims of inducements to bolster the ruling party’s southwest influence. Adeleke’s media team denied any defection plans, reaffirming his commitment to the PDP. The development highlights ongoing tensions within Osun’s political landscape as parties intensify recruitment efforts for 2027.
