”I thank the PDP for the opportunities given to me for my elections as a senator (Representative, Osun West) and as governor of Osun State under the Peoples Democratic Party.”
Although the governor did not mention the party he would be defecting to in the letter, it was learnt that Mr Adeleke might pitch tent with the Accord Party.
