Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke’s campaign council dismisses rumours that he plans to defect from the Accord Party (APC) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) after a visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

In statements reported by multiple outlets, the Imole Campaign Council says the meeting is a routine courtesy call. Vanguard reports the engagement follows the conclusion of an off-cycle election in Osun State, framing it as customary political interaction rather than a party change. The Daily Post Nigeria similarly cites the Imole Campaign Council and rejects the defection claim, presenting the visit to Tinubu as non-alarming and not connected to any planned move.

The outlets therefore agree on the central point: Adeleke’s camp publicly denies any intention to join the APC, and it portrays the Tinubu meeting as standard political engagement rather than evidence of defection.
