Governor Adeleke’s spokesperson made this known through a statement obtained by DAILY POST in Osogbo on Wednesday.
Rasheed also faulted media speculations of his imminent defection to the APC.

“The visit by the Adeleke dynasty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a routine courtesy visit. Any reading of defection agenda into the visit is mere fake news,” the statement clarified.
DAILY POST had earlier reported that former Osun House of Assembly Speaker, Timothy Owoeye stated that Governor Adeleke is not welcomed in Osun APC.
Owoeye also claimed that the governorship ticket of the Osun APC is not for sale to the Adeleke family.
