A former deputy governor of Osun State and ex-national Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has described Governor Ademola Adeleke as a political orphan.
Omisore said this on Wednesday on Channels TV while reacting to speculation suggesting that Adeleke is planning to dump the Peoples Democratic Party for the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Omisore said Governor Adeleke, who was elected on the platform of PDP, is now considering joining the APC.
He accused Adeleke of begging APC stalwarts, including a southern governor, to allow him to join the party.

Omisore said, “For the past three years, he has been governing that state, with no single person defecting from APC to PDP.
“Meanwhile, one over seventh of PDP members have moved to APC, which you know. Of course, Alhaji Isa Oyedokun, Dayo Babayemi, Hon. Wole Oke and others are still coming.
“Why do you want to force yourself on the party? Why is the governor begging to enter the party? He is struggling, begging and fighting to join APC.”
Adeleke’s recent meeting with President Bola Tinubu has fuelled speculations that he is planning to dump PDP for APC.
