Party officials revealed that Adeleke has privately communicated his intention to step back from the race, a move that has sparked internal discussions and strategic recalculations within the party’s Osun chapter. Although no official statement has been released by the governor, party figures say his decision is already influencing political alignments ahead of the PDP primary.
Adeleke’s Withdrawal Linked to Internal Party Dynamics
According to insiders, Governor Adeleke’s withdrawal from the ticket is tied to internal dynamics, performance evaluation, and his desire to avoid deepening tensions within the party. His unexpected stance has also opened room for new aspirants who are already positioning themselves to fill the gap.
