In a statement signed by his spokesperson Olaniyi Stephen, and made available to Pressmen in Ibadan on Monday 3rd of November, 2025, he described the rumours as false, baseless, and a calculated attempt by political detractors to mislead the public and sow division within the party.

I therefore urge the public and PDP members across all levels to disregard these fabricated reports and treat them with the contempt they deserve, while he remains united, focused, and committed to strengthening our party, supporting good governance, and advancing the development of Oyo State” he said
He attributed the sustained support for the PDP to the remarkable achievements of the present administration under Governor Seyi Makinde, especially in the areas of infrastructure development, education, healthcare, agriculture, and youth and women empowerment.
He urged the people of Oyo State to disregard the defection rumours, insisting they are nothing but politically motivated fabrications.
