The spokesperson for the Ademola Adeleke Campaign Council, Pelumi Olajengbesi, has dismissed speculation that the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, plans to defect to the All Progressives Congress following his post-election visit to President Bola Tinubu.
Olajengbesi said Adeleke’s visit to the President was a courtesy call and a demonstration of respect for the office of the President, stressing that the governor remained a member of his political party. He spoke while addressing journalists in Abuja on Friday.
According to him, the visit was also aimed at appreciating Tinubu for allowing a level playing field during the recent Osun State governorship election, which he said enabled the people to freely express their choice.
“The visit of Governor Ademola Adeleke to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is the proper thing to do. It is the norm; it is the standard.
