The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress on Wednesday rejected the alleged deal by President Bola Tinubu and Governor Ademola Adeleke for the latter to decamp to the APC.
The APC said Governor Adeleke should not bother to defect to its fold, noting that there is no space for the Governor in the party.
Speaking through ex-Speaker of Osun State House of Assembly, Timothy Owoeye, the party said the APC ticket is not for sale.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that there has been an uneasy calm in the APC over the recent meeting of the Governor, his nephew and popular Afrobeat star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, as well as billionaire businessman Dr. Deji Adeleke, with President Bola Tinubu in Lagos.
The pictures taken during the meeting had generated diverse reactions and sparked rumour of Adeleke’s impending defection to APC.

Owoeye further noted, “I am saying this categorically that APC ticket is not for sale. As a matter of fact, as of today, we don’t see Adeleke as a member or part of APC as a party. Let me be sincere with you, the APC in Osun is the party to beat.
“I want to tell you that if not because of the fear of the unknown that is disturbing the Adeleke family and the PDP, they wouldn’t have been showing the intention of coming to the APC.
“We have been saying this times without number that APC in Osun, if not because of the brigandage that followed the 2022 election and that of 2023, we shouldn’t have had PDP as elected officials across the state.
“Now that the Adeleke family has seen that their tenure is already terminated, come August 08, 2026, we are driving away the PDP from the Osun government, and we want to appeal to our people to remain calm. There is no space for PDP or Adeleke in the APC.”
