Former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Prince Adebayo Adeleke, popularly known as BANIK, has berated Governor Ademola Adeleke for allegedly pretending to be a Muslim during the 2022 gubernatorial election for political gain.
BANIK said Governor Adeleke being a Christian disguising as a Muslim during his election campaign to avoid being labeled as part of a ‘Christian-Christian ticket’
He disclosed this on Tuesday, while addressing members of Osun Online Publishers Association during their 8th edition of Media Parlay, held in Osogbo, Osun State capital.
The Chieftain of Osun APC accused Adeleke of hypocrisy, arguing that religion is only used as a political card during elections but disregarded in governance.
According to him, “It is a rape on Islam. A governor who claims to be a Muslim doesn’t know that his forehead must touch the ground when he prays? This is a big disgrace. We’ve seen his dancing in celestial churches. The Muslim community sees and notes everything.
“Governor Adeleke allegedly pretended to be a Muslim during his election campaign to avoid being labeled as part of a ‘Christian-Christian ticket’.
“However, he has never genuinely portrayed himself as a Muslim and is reportedly a Christian who prioritized political gain over authenticity.”
