Governor Adeleke Says He’s Staying in PDP and Will Keep Serving Osun State
Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has dismissed rumours that he plans to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), making it clear that he’s staying put.
Speaking during the flag-off of the 3.5km Ila township road dualisation project in Ila-Orangun, Adeleke reaffirmed his commitment to both the party and the people of the state. He stressed that his mission remains focused on service and development, not political distractions.
Despite the uncertainty in the country, Adeleke expressed joy over the kickoff of the road project, describing it as a step forward in his administration’s promise to transform infrastructure across Osun.
He proudly highlighted the achievements so far, saying his government has already completed over 175 kilometres of roadwork. He also noted that several other major projects, including flyovers and dualised roads, are actively progressing.
One of the key projects, according to him, is the 39km Osogbo–Ikirun–Inisha–Okuku–Ijabe–Ila Odo road that links the state to Kwara. Adeleke stressed that its completion is a top priority for his administration.
“I was elected under the PDP and I will remain in the PDP,” Adeleke said. “We’ve started a second phase that’s almost as long as what took 12 years to finish. By God’s grace, we’ll complete it within a year.” He ended by calling the gathering a divine moment, saying everyone present is part of a bigger plan guided by God.
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, has expressed confidence that the northern region will support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the next election.
According to Matawalle, the administration has delivered major infrastructure projects and development initiatives across the region.
“For us in the North, our votes for the APC and President Tinubu will show clearly that we appreciate what he’s doing for the region.”
He added “If you see the dualisation of the Abuja–Kaduna, Zaria–Sokoto, and Ilela–Badagry expressways, you will agree with me that the North is experiencing key projects it never had in the past, even when a northerner was president.”
It was reported and revealed by the National Coordinator of the Obi Movement that an attack occurred at the movement against Peter Obi in Edo State.
He stated that the armed people had guns and shot at Peter Obi and his members of the movement.
“At the formal declaration of Olumide Akpata into the African Democratic Congress, armed individuals followed us from the ADC Secretariat to the residence of Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
They shot at the gate and destroyed several vehicles in what appears to be a survived assassination attempt on our lives. Democracy is in danger.”
