Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Iree, located in the Boripe Local Government Area of Osun State, have publicly dismissed a recent endorsement of Governor Ademola Adeleke for a second term. The endorsement was made by the Aree of Iree, Oba Muritala Oyelakin, who, along with some other community leaders, had publicly backed the governor.

They have taken steps to distance themselves and the broader community from Oba Oyelakin's declaration, indicating a significant political rift within the local leadership. This move suggests internal dissent and a rejection of the governor's political overtures by a segment of the APC.
