A former governor of Osun State, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, on Thursday, disclosed that he would not follow Governor Ademola Adeleke to the Accord Party.
osun.life reports that Adeleke recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party and became the gubernatorial candidate of the Accord Party ahead of the August 8, 2026, governorship election.
Oyinlola who spoke on Thursday at the second matriculation ceremony of Alolade Oyinlola College of Health Sciences and Information Technology, Okuku, Osun State, said he would remain in the PDP unless the party ceases to exist.
The ex-military administrator of Lagos State also alleged that President Bola Tinubu is the unseen force behind the crises rocking the PDP.
He said, “I won’t leave PDP unless it goes into extinction. I am not following Demola to Accord (Party). At my age, I can’t be pushed around. I’m gradually leaving active politics. I will be 75 in February (2026).
“The problem would have been solved but for the interference of Tinubu. He sees PDP as a major challenge poised on his 2027 ambition. He doesn’t want to run, he wants to walk into the Villa,” Oyinlola said.
