Osun PDP members’ defection to APC, a ruse —Chairman

The chairman of the Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Gani Olaoluwa, has stated the celebrated defection of Senator Isiaka Adeleke with an alleged crowd of followers from the PDP was a mere ruse and an orchestrated lie to deceive the people of the state. Olaoluwa, in a statement made available on Saturday, said most of those who joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) were not PDP members, stating that the few PDP members that followed Adeleke were “those whose political relevance has waned and have been huge liabilities to the party.” “The good people of the state should not be deceived by Adeleke’s defection or the celebrated fake defection of many PDP members; those who joined APC are only few and uncommitted members of the party who will sell their conscience for peanuts. “The world can now see the truth about Adeleke who joined the race to pick the governorship ticket of our party at the eleventh hour and had to lie against the president to gain support. This defection has proved true the theory that he was working for the APC to destabilise our party; thank God he did not succeed,” the PDP chairman stated.
