Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has explained that the prolonged crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) forced him to leave the party for Accord ahead of his re-election bid. Adeleke, who spoke during the Arise TV town hall meeting for candidates in the August 15 Osun governorship election, said leaving the PDP was a difficult decision because of his attachment to the party. “I left the PDP to join Accord because of the crisis in the PDP then. “I would have run as an independent candidate in this election if it were allowed in Nigeria,” Adeleke said. Adeleke said, “I’m not worried that I’m contesting against a party that has 34 governors; I’m a bulldozer.
