Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke denies reports that he agreed with the APC to share legislative and local government positions ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general election. He says any such claims are false and that his reported arrangement with the APC is not a real political deal.
Adeleke links his cooperation with President Bola Tinubu’s campaign council to the presidential election, stating that the coalition’s understanding is limited to ensuring Tinubu’s re-election. He also says negotiations over Osun’s local government dispute aim to protect the interests of both APC chairmen and elected PDP chairmen and councillors, and he expresses confidence that the issue will be resolved before the end of the year.
Across the outlets, the central message is the same: Adeleke rejects the notion of seat-sharing with the APC and frames his political alignment as presidential-election focused. The coverage largely reiterates his denial, with limited additional detail beyond the local government context and the disputed claims circulating online.
