A former deputy governor of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has declared that Governor Ademola Adeleke cannot join the opposition party, All Progressives Congress, through his association with Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun.
Omisore also said that the governor has to start from the grassroots to join the state chapter of the party.
He made this known on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Wednesday.
According to him, Adeleke is only scared of losing the second term bid, which is why he is seeking to contest under the platform of the APC.
“APC is not divided in Osun State. I’m not saying Adeleke cannot join the party. He has the constitutional right to associate with any party, but it is not by going to look for friendship in Ogun or Abuja to join the Osun APC. You can not be meeting Governor Dapo Abiodun to anchor you into our party.
“Politics is very local, and you have to know the tenets and local structure of a party that you are joining. If he must join us, he has to start from the grassroots,” he said.
