THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State has been conducting its affairs with decorum and uniqueness. In a hotly contested primary elected as its governorship standard flag-bearer a dynamic and resourceful Senator Ademola Adeleke
After the July 21, primary there was neither victor nor vanquished. All contestants were winners. Adeleke has therefore sent out the signals, that his candidacy is for the people of Osun, with a view to solving her multi-faceted problems, using the state’s endowed abundant human and natural resources, to make Osun a heritage and first among other states, where justice, peace and progress reign supreme.
Adeleke is not new to politics. He has antecedents that stand him out. He believes in selfless service, transparency and accountability. In his sojourn in the Senate, he has made robust contributions, touching essentially on religious harmony, security of lives and properties, because he has a strong conviction, that religion is an avenue to be a good human being, as against what fundamentalists would want the public to believe.
Adeleke is a principled politician, whose modesty and candour cannot be waved aside. Though misunderstood in a few circles and fora, for reasons not applicable to him, he bears nobody any guidge. Osun State, should give Adeleke its votes, with a view to demonstrating our resolve to move Osun forward.
The PDP family in Osun should be commended for its magnanimity and spirit of sportmanship in ensuring, that they have all resolved to work together to win the September 22 election. Adeleke is just the flag-bearer, the eminent members of PDP, no matter their status, are the contestants, and the electorate in Osun their solid pillar of support.
Over to the good people of Osun State to do it right and set the ball rolling for the march to Bola Ige House . The Adeleke project is our collective project. It is God’s own project. Osun State needs economic overhaul to make life more abundant for our people. We are still trudging on today, because Osun people are resilient and long distance runners. And God is their strength. Ademola Adeleke together with other politicians in all political divides are set to breathe a fresh air into our lives as from September 22, 2018, when by God’s grace, he would have emerged as the next Governor of Osun State.
Despite evil machinations from some quarters, to give a dog a bad name in order to hang it, Ademola’s governorship project continues to gain wider acceptability from cross-sections of the electorate in Osun State. The support base for his victory at the gubernatorial election is on the high side. The campaign structure of Senator Ademola Adeleke is all-embracing and leaves nobody out in the onward march to September 22 duel. Osun electorate are determined to give the mantle of leadership to Ademola Adeleke and take their destiny in their own hands and firmly too. The task ahead though gargantuan, is surmountable, since the programmes of Ademola Adeleke is welfarist in nature and people-oriented.
The PDP family in Osun State is very confident of victory, since unity permeates their rank and file as they rest their hope and trust in God Almighty, to fight for them like the biblical David against Goliath. This is complemented by the glowing love and affection, Osun people across tribe, creed, colour, religion or sex have shown the party and Adeleke so far. This, no doubt, has elevated the resolve of well-meaning people of Osun State to go to the September Poll and cast their votes without fear or favour and record a 22 local governments win for PDP.
Adeleke is a modest politician. He goes about his endeavours with humility. He is above board and beyond reproach. Nobody should live in illusion, that Ademola Adeleke is not a master of the game, having under-studied his late brother-Senator Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke political prowess and mastered it well.
Adeleke, is ready to identify with those living below the poverty line and give them succor through participatory governance. He is a remarkable personality in his own right, who will not hurt a fly.
Adeleke is not given to frivolous expressions and politics of bitterness. He is for all. All are for him. Osun People yearn for Ademola Adeleke. Between him and the Osun people, it is a bond that he will not forsake. He has a date with history. A bond, that will see Osun State returning to the enviable path of greatness and consolidation of the gains of the present. Osun where basic infrastructure, shall be greatly improved upon and taken for granted. That hour is inching closer for us all to give Senator Ademola Adeleke the opportunity to give his best to us. We cannot afford to miss the golden chance offered us by September 22, 2018 governorship election, to elect a servant of the people, in person of Ademola Adeleke. A governor, that will make the welfare of civil servants and pensioners, the centre-piece of his administration. A situation, that will in turn make the economy of Osun very buoyant. For his administration, it is full and steady payment of salaries and pension as and when due.
All leaders of men, whether political figures; all of those who can get the best out of others, have identified themselves with high ideals, and this has given added scope and strength to their influence. They stand for greatness of mind, rather than self interest. To Adeleke, the primary was a complete PDP affairs. It shall be votes galore from all nooks and crannies of Osun State. Therefore, no amount of cheap political blackmail and mudslinging, brick-batting and innuendoes will distract Adeleke from reaching the promised land. It is a divinely ordained project to which the good people of Osun are firmly committed. His campaign slogan is life more abundant to all. Peace and prosperity to Osun State.
Political activities, moreso in electioneering time are never devoid of acrimony or blackmail. But one of the wild allegations peddled against Ademola Adeleke is of any value. They hold no water. Again it is the price to pay for leadership. He takes it all with dignified calmness. Ademola Adeleke personality is robust.
The impression being created in some quarters, that his administration is going to be a family-controlled one is far from the truth. Those in the nuclear and extended Adeleke family have their different vocations and business callings, that they are seriously committed to. Therefore, Ademola Adeleke would-be government has nothing absolutely to do with his family interference, but the involvement of all and sundry in Osun State, no matter the party affiliation, religion or creed. A PDP government, that assures of full rehabilitation and construction of roads across Osun State, the completion of the on-going water rehabilitation in Ijesaland; full payment of Osun shares in LAUTECH and ensuring Osun State University and other tertiary institutions in Osun State are master pieces of citadel of learning, while Osogbo will continue to be accorded top priority to make it, one of the best state capital in Nigeria, with infrastructural facilities.
The Almighty God will stand by Ademola Adeleke and subdue all obstacles on his way to Osun State Government House.
