He said, “The media speculation about likely or imminent defection is fake news. Governor Adeleke remains a member and leader of the PDP in Osun State.
“The visit by the Adeleke dynasty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a routine courtesy visit. Any reading of defection agenda into the visit is mere fake news”.
It will be recalled that pictures of Governor Ademola Adeleke, that of his elder brother, Deji Adeleke and nephew, David Adeleke, popularly called Davido, showing their visitation to President Bola Tinubu in Lagos State on Tuesday went viral on the internet, suggesting that the governor is seeking to join the natiobal ruling party.
