The Osun State Executive Council has unanimously expressed its solidarity and unwavering support for Governor Ademola Adeleke, dismissing rumours of defection to another political party.
The council members who addressed a press conference in Osogbo on Monday reaffirmed their loyalty to the Governor and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), emphasising their readiness to stand behind the administration’s initiatives.
The cabinet members comprising of Commissioners and Special Advisers in the cabinet rank described insinuations of their defection as “political fallacy” and “careless insinuation” by opposition party members.
Dosu Babatunde, the commissioner for local government and chieftaincy affairs who spoke on behalf of the council members maintained their readiness to stand solidly like a rock of Gibraltar behind Governor Adeleke in his undying quests to take Osun to greater heights.
While also pledging their unalloyed loyalty to the ruling party in the state, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), under the leadership of Hon. Sunday Bisi, the Osun Executive members emphasized that no amount of the usual political shenanigans by the opposition party members will be enough to derail the good intention of the Governor for the people as exemplified by Senator Adeleke .
The message of solidarity issued and sent to the Governor of Osun state reads in part ;
“Your Excellency, Mr Governor, we are using this opportunity to further affirm and reaffirm our love and unshakable solidarity with you and your administration in Osun State.
“We read and heard with great consternation the many insinuations being mischievously bandied about in certain political quarters, particularly the opposition parties about the looming mass defection of the Executive Council members from the ruling PDP to another political party”
“This is not only a political fallacy taken to the extreme but a careless and unguarded insinuation by the usual disgruntled members of the opposition party in the state.
“To this end, we are using this opportunity to state and reaffirm, again and again, that no amount of political gerrymandering as being currently hatched by the opposition party members in the state will make us be a party to destroying a house ( PDP) which we fought tooth and nail to build.
“Come 2026, the entire people of Osun state will reenact the feat of getting Your Excellency, Senator Ademola Adeleke, returned as Governor of our dear state.”
