‘Adeleke Is Not Joining APC’ – Senator Basiru Hints At Contesting Osun Governorship Election

The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ajibola Basiru, has dismissed claims that Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, is planning to decamp to the APC.

Naija News reports that the APC chieftain made this known while speaking at a media parley organised by the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Zone B, comprising journalists from the South-West states, led by the union’s Vice President, Ronke Samo.

Basiru also hinted at contesting during the Osun State Governorship election, but will wait for the approval of President Bola Tinubu.

The APC National Secretary added that he would stand by whatever decision Tinubu takes on the issue.

He added, “Adeleke is not joining our party. I know that as of today, decamping is not on board. Although APC is a beautiful bride for anybody that wants to join, I must say here that as a party man and an established politician, I would say that I am one of the people that is extremely loyal to Mr President.

“Notwithstanding that I may be nursing an ambition to be Governor of Osun State, whatever President Bola Tinubu says stands on the issue. Because he knows the road, we can afford to follow him blindly.

“He will take decisions from the position of wisdom, and from the position that will advance the larger interest of the progressives and family.”
