Shockwaves in Osun APC: Tinubu’s Alleged Dealings With Adeleke Divide Party Ranks
The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is currently grappling with internal unrest following growing signs of camaraderie between President Bola Tinubu and Governor Ademola Adeleke—a development that has alarmed party loyalists and stirred fears ahead of the 2026 governorship race.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Multiple party insiders revealed to Sunday Punch that Tinubu’s perceived warming relationship with the opposition governor is unsettling key APC figures, particularly allies of former governor and current Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola.
Tensions escalated after Governor Adeleke paid a visit to Tinubu’s Lagos residence on June 3, accompanied by his wealthy brother, Adedeji Adeleke, and superstar musician nephew, Davido. Prior to that, Femi Gbajabiamila, Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, had also visited Adeleke at the Osun State Government House on May 20—moves widely interpreted as part of a political realignment.
These developments ignited heated conversations across social media. While supporters of Adeleke praised his growing rapport with the president, many APC members accused him of scheming to infiltrate the ruling party—drawing parallels with Tinubu’s previous backing of Governor Seyi Makinde in Oyo State, which contributed to the APC’s loss in the 2023 gubernatorial election.
During a recent press briefing, APC leaders, including former Osun Assembly Speaker Timothy Owoeye, rejected any idea of Adeleke defecting to the APC.
“If not for fear of electoral defeat, the Adeleke family and the PDP wouldn’t be plotting to hijack our party,” Owoeye asserted. “Let it be known that the APC ticket is not for sale.”
Backing this position, APC Publicity Secretary Kola Olabisi described Adeleke’s gestures as politically motivated and insincere.
“Why is he cozying up to APC leaders now, after previously disavowing any ties with us? His visit to Chief Bisi Akande is telling—there’s clearly more going on beneath the surface,” Olabisi noted.
Olabisi further claimed that Adeleke, aware of dwindling support for his administration, was now “seeking refuge” under the APC’s platform.
“He knows the PDP won’t get him re-elected in 2026. That’s why he’s trying to gain ground in the APC. But we will not allow it,” he said.
In response, the Osun State PDP dismissed the APC’s concerns as “juvenile and panicky,” accusing the ruling party of entitlement and an inability to accept genuine political engagement.
