Stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun state have reaffirmed their support for the incumbent Governor of the State, Ademola Adeleke, as the gubernatorial flagbearer of the Party in the forthcoming 2026 election in the State.

This was announced in a communique released after the party’s leadership caucus meeting, held at the Government House in Osogbo.

The stakeholders called on all members of the PDP to remain in the party while enjoining Governor Adeleke to forge ahead in the implementation of his administration’s agenda, adding that they are solidly behind him.

They noted that majority of the PDP members are not happy about the rumored defection but only reluctantly agreed to follow Governor Adeleke as a show of loyalty to his leadership. They also decried the hostility of APC stakeholders in Osun towards the rumored defection of the Governor.

The PDP leadership caucus also “adopted and endorsed” President Bola Tinubu’s second term bid, noting that he is a son of Osun State.
