The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has described the PDP candidate in the 2019 gubernatorial election, Mr Ademola Adeleke as a disgrace, empty barrel who has nothing to offer the people of the state other than making frivolous promises and draw back the progress of the state.
This is contained in a statement issued from the party’s Directorate of Publicity, Research and Strategy and signed by its Director, Kunle Oyatomi Esq., and made available to Newsmen on Friday in Osogbo, the state capital.
In a reaction to the statement credited to Ademola Adeleke when he visited Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi on Wednesday that “by God’s grace, I will make provision for a Private Jet as a gift to make all Ooni’s local and international trips easier. I am not making a mouth (sic), it is what I will do”.
The APC said “Ademola Adeleke is a disgrace to his party and family for insulting the revered and first class monarch, Ooni Ogunwusi, adding that it is a joke taken too far and it is ridiculous, pedestrian and complete lack of understanding on how a government runs, saying that, Lagos State government with humongous revenue, never considered a private jet and helicopter for Oba Akinolu of Lagos. Ooni Ogunwusi, as a young successful entrepreneur knows what it takes to have a private jet and should neither be deceived nor insulted by anyone. He can comfortably afford a jet if he so wishes.
Oyatomi said, ‘it is now obvious and glaring to the people of Osun that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has no quality aspirants except welfare parasites, treasury looters and harbinger of lazy people without nothing to offer the good people of the state, if Ademola Adeleke is being paraded as a candidate, it is a pity.
According to him, “Ademola’s statement has exposed the PDP’s aspirant as a misfit and economic illiterate. How much is available to Osun treasury in a year? Or will he need to approach his brother, Deji to use his personal funds to buy private Jet as a gift for a Royal Father? Has he provided one for the Timi of Edeland? How many Royal Fathers will he give Private Jets? How much care the Adeleke family showed to repair some gully Ede roads for the betterment of the people of his community?
‘This insulting statement further makes Adeleke and his party look childish, petty, irresponsible and unreliable, saying that no one leaves the best product for the fake, or the ignoramus.
However, Oyatomi reaffirmed the unwavering commitment of Governor Gboyega Oyetola to the welfare, development and growth of Osun, as reinstated in the just presented 2022 budget in the House of Assembly, assuring that Osun will never again return to the PDP era of insecurity, treasury looting and undevelopment.
‘Ademola is welcome to the 2022 guber race. He is desirous to waste more money of his family’.
