Reason Gov Adeleke defected to Accord Party – Osun commissioner

Osun State Commissioner for Information, Kolapo Alimi, has explained the reasons behind Governor Ademola Adeleke’s defection to the Accord Party.

Speaking in an interview on ‘The Morning Brief’, the commissioner cited a leadership tussle within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as a key factor.

DAILY POST reports that Adeleke formally joined the Accord Party on Tuesday evening, following his resignation from PDP.

“Looking back at what actually caused all this moving away from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, you just say it’s a popular thing in the country, which is known to everybody. The leadership tussle in the PDP has refused to go and any right thinking member will not actually advise Governor Adeleke to still continue to go ahead and contest for second term under the party which is struggling with leadership. So many people have been talking to the governor about the need to go for second term,” he said.
