Ignore Rumours, No Deal to Share Legislative, LG Seats With APC-Gov Adeleke
Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has debunked rumors and insinuations regarding his relationship with the presidency, clarifying that he has no deal to share legislative or local government seats with the state APC
The governor made the clarification in reaction to social media reports that the deal between him and the presidency ahead of the 2027 general election include sharing of local government positions as well as those of Senate, House of Representatives and State Assembly between the Accord Party and the state APC.
Governor Adeleke, who reaffirmed his commitment to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, added that the negotiation for the resolution of the local government crisis is aimed at protecting the interests of both the APC chairpersons and those of the elected PDP chairmen and councilors, calling reports claiming that there is an agreement to share seats ‘mere fabrication and fake news’.
‘As the governor of all Osun indigenes and residents, we are working to resolve the local government matter by ensuring that all interests are protected and cared for. As at now, all the stakeholders agreed that restoring grassroots governance is a condition for our successful campaign ahead of the 2027 elections’ the governor said..
While assuring that the local government crisis will be resolved before the end of the year, the governor submitted that he did not enter into any agreement to share legislative seats with Osun APC as beng rumoured, declaring that ‘what unites the coalition partners is only the presidential election’.
‘As I said while inaugurating the Presidential Campaign Council, the coalition is targeted at the presidential election. Partners agreed to join hands to ensure that our dear president is re-elected. All other legislative positions are open for competition. I will work and campaign for Accord candidates for Senate, House of Representatives and the State House of Assembly.
I urge all political parties to campaign for their candidates as I will do for Accord candidates. We have no deal on the National Assembly and the State Assembly elections. All our candidates will face the electorate who has the final say’ the governor added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
