He said the growing number of disputes and court cases facing the party made it unsafe to depend on for future decisions.

The governor spoke on a live political programme shortly after announcing his switch, explaining that he had stayed loyal to the PDP for years but watched the party struggle with internal problems almost daily. He said those challenges created doubts about its ability to stand firm, leaving him with no choice but to secure another platform that could support his plans for Osun State.

Adeleke said his decision was rooted in governance and his duty to protect the work already done in the state. He stated that his move was not driven by personal gain, adding that he still holds affection for the PDP but had to look for a place where uncertainty would not derail his administration’s progress.
He made his entry into the Accord Party at a gathering in the Government House, Osogbo, where leaders of the party welcomed him. His switch came after a resignation letter, dated early November, surfaced online just before the PDP primary that produced Adebayo Adedamola as the party’s flagbearer.
Adeleke was later cleared by the Accord Party screening committee to take part in its governorship primary held in Osogbo, setting him on course to battle for the party’s ticket as plans for the coming election gather pace.
