Adams Oshiomhole Defection Statement

Senator Adams Oshiomhole clarifies his past statement, denying he ever said defecting to APC meant “sins forgiven,” while also criticizing Atiku Abubakar’s stance on recent PDP defections

Speaking at the 28th Founders Day Lecture of Independent Television and Radio, Oshiomhole explained he was merely referencing a PDP member’s surname, “Iluobe,” meaning “I do no wrong,” when the individual joined the APC. He clarified that his words were misinterpreted.

Oshiomhole also criticized former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for his condemnation of Ifeanyi Okowa and Sheriff Oborevwori’s defections to the APC, highlighting Atiku’s own history of party switching.

He praised President Bola Tinubu’s leadership, stating that defections to the APC are driven by charisma, not coercion.

“People twisted my words. I never said joining the APC forgives sins. I was merely playing on a person’s name. Atiku has no moral ground to criticize defections, considering his own political history. President Tinubu’s leadership is drawing people to the APC, not force,” Oshiomhole stated.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairmanship candidate for Mosan Okunola Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Hon. Akindele Adunni Opeyemi, has extended a hand of fellowship to fellow aspirants who contested alongside her in the party’s just-concluded primaries, urging them to unite for the greater good of the community.

Adunni made the conciliatory appeal following her official emergence as the APC flagbearer for the forthcoming local government elections in Lagos State.

Speaking in a tone of gratitude and reconciliation, the former Vice Chairman and Executive Secretary of the LCDA attributed her victory to divine grace and expressed heartfelt appreciation to her family, party leadership, and dedicated supporters across the council area.

“The primaries are behind us, and now it’s time to face the future with renewed hope and unity.

“This victory is not just mine—it is a triumph for tested experience, proven leadership, and a shared vision for a better Mosan Okunola ,” she said.

With her campaign slogan, “Adunni in the Neighborhood… My Community, My Focus! Olorun ni, Eniyan ko,” resonating across the LCDA, Hon. Adunni is positioning herself as the candidate of continuity, competence, and community-focused leadership.

Her message of reconciliation, shared purpose, and forward-looking leadership sets the tone for what promises to be an issue-driven and people-centered campaign season in Mosan Okunola.

Reinforcing her image as a bridge-builder and team player, Adunni appealed to her fellow contenders to set aside personal differences and work together in the party’s collective interest.

“In the spirit of unity, I extend a hand of fellowship to all my fellow aspirants who contested alongside me. There is no loser in a family. We are one—and together, we must work hand-in-hand to build the Mosan Okunola of our dreams,” she said.

Renowned for her strong record in grassroots development and effective service delivery, Adunni emphasized her readiness to serve once again with renewed vigour.

“I am not new to service. I am tested, trusted, and tenacious. I have walked this path before. I have delivered. And now, I am ready to do even more,” she declared.
