The African Democratic Congress (ADC), Osun State chapter, has declared that the recent defection of former Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, has not affected the party in any way.
The party stated that Adeoti did not leave with any member of its State, Local Government, or Ward executives.
Adeoti recently defected to the Accord Party, a move the ADC described as ill-advised, parochial, and unfortunate.
According to the party, he decamped only with members of his personal group.
In a press statement signed by the Osun State Chairman of the ADC, Dr. Charles Idowu Omidiji, and made available to journalists on Thursday, the party dismissed insinuations that Adeoti left with key members of the ADC structure.
The statement declared that Adeoti moved to Accord “like a cathedral without a single congregation.”
Omidiji described as baseless and unfounded the rumours alleging that ADC State, Local Government, or Ward executives collaborated with Adeoti during his negotiations and eventual defection. He characterised such claims as a mere “mirage” designed to mislead the public.
The statement conveyed a communiqué issued after an extended meeting of the party’s State, Local Government, and
Ward executives. At the meeting, the party reaffirmed its unwavering support for its governorship candidate, Rt. Hon. Najeem Salaam, popularly known as “Iwaloye.”The ADC expressed strong confidence in Salaam’s leadership capacity, maintaining that the party remains united, focused, and strategically positioned for success in the August 8, 2026 governorship election.
“We want the public to understand that we, the ADC members, stand unshakable in our commitment,” the statement read. “We are solidly behind Rt. Hon. Najeem Salaam, and we believe that victory is not only possible but certain in the forthcoming governorship election.”
As the political landscape continues to evolve, the Osun State ADC said it remains committed to mobilising its grassroots base and promoting policies that resonate with the electorate.
The party called on its members and the general public to remain informed and steadfast as preparations intensify ahead of the 2026 governorship election, expressing confidence that the ADC will coast to victory.
In conclusion, the party urged constituents across Osun State to rally behind its candidate and look forward to a campaign anchored on integrity, unity, and the collective interest of the people.
