Why Adeleke’s defection to Accord Party was delayed – Osun govt

Ademola Adeleke

The Osun State Commissioner for Information, Kolapo Alimi, has disclosed why Governor Ademola Adeleke’s defection to the Accord Party was delayed.

Governor Adeleke joined the Accord Party on Tuesday, weeks after he left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing internal crisis as the reason for his resignation.

Speaking in an interview with Channels Television’s ‘The Morning Brief’ on Wednesday, Alimi revealed that the PDP convention had to be over before his principal made his move.

“He resigned his membership from the People’s Democratic Party on November 4. He had actually joined the Accord Party by November 6, but he delayed the unveiling because of the convention of the PDP, which was going on.

“He didn’t want to be seen as part of the people who disrupted the event. He left the People’s Democratic Party because the leadership crisis heightened,” Alimi stated.
