Deji Adeleke, elder brother to the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the September 22, 2018 governorship poll in Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, on Thursday, said many promises made by the PDP before the family accepted the party’s governorship ticket were not kept.

Adeleke, in a statement he signed and obtained in Osogbo on Thursday, declared that his younger brother had no intention to contest the governorship election in the first place.


He, however, added that Senator Ademola Adeleke, was prevailed on by the PDP leadership and elders before the family accepted “most reluctantly after receiving assurances and promises that were never kept.”

He said the younger Adeleke should be given a break to take a rest and decide what he would do or not do when the time comes.

He expressed gratitude to those who are concerned about the huge resources committed to execute his younger brother’s participation in the PDP primary and general elections and the payment to lawyers during the litigation period.


Adeleke conselled that money spent on elections should not be considered an investment that would be recouped upon assumption of office through corruption and banditry, but should rather be considered as a grant to help deepen democracy and advance the rule of law.

The statement read, “I am not a card-carrying member of any political party but I am a sympathiser/supporter of the PDP in Osun State. Osun State PDP will be better off and well prepared for the next general election in the state, if internal democracy is encouraged and enforced.


“All elective positions, including the position of governor of the state, should be open to all members of the party to contest in a transparent primary election. Everyone must be given a sense of belonging, in order to grow the party in Osun State.

“The PDP members that are trading blame within the party should be reminded that the PDP won the governorship election held on September 22, 2018, but was not allowed to take office by the powers that be in the ruling party. Members should be proud that the electorate sided with the party against the ruling party in that election and not blame each other for the daylight robbery that deprived the party of the mandate freely given by the good people of Osun State, which has brought shame and disgrace to Nigeria as a country.”


He added, “As for the Adeleke family, of which I am one, we will like to remind all the PDP members that Senator Ademola Nurudeen Adeleke had no intention to contest the governorship election in the first place, but was invited and prevailed upon by the party leadership and party elders to contest the governorship election, which he and his family accepted most reluctantly after receiving assurances and promises that were never kept.

“Everything that followed after this, is now history. Senator Adeleke should, therefore, be given a break, to take his well-deserved rest and decide what he will do/not do when the time comes.


“Contributions to an election fund should always be considered a grant, to help deepen our democracy and advance the rule of law, which eventually translates into Foreign Direct Investments (FDI), economic growth and job creation.”

Reacting to the controversies surrounding reported adoption of Senator Adeleke as the PDP consensus governorship candidate of the 2022 poll, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party, Diran Odeyemi, said a chieftain of the party from Osun West, while addressing a meeting held in Adeleke’s residence in Ede, on Tuesday, suggested that Senator Adeleke should be re-presented by the party in 2022.


Odeyemi said, “Dr Babalola said in appreciation of the support of the Adelekes to the PDP in Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke should be represented in 2022 and everyone seated clapped in appreciation of that motion.


“What I said was that after listening to assurances from Dr Deji Adeleke, who assured us of continuous support, I suggested that he should be made one of the leaders of our party. It happened at a political gathering.”

Eyah.
It seems the Adeleke's are pained.
It's not easy being deprived of one's right you know...

I feel for the Adeleke's.

Pdp don chop una money with davido's free show

Osun state is too small and doesn't need to be governed the present governor should resign and apologize to the people.

PDP wants to build another country out of the Adelekes

If you want to enter politics, know how to handle failure.


Take heart, Adelekes, and brace up for the future challenges.

Sense no go kill pdp members. Una still dey go this guy house go dey beg money...

Well, he don learn now.. no free money till 2021,



Drabeey was Here

The Adelekes were chopped during the elections all in the name of campaigns.

They were re-chopped after the elections all in the name of getting back stolen mandate.

And now they will continue to chop them by washing their head that they will get that sit anyhow in the next election.

Remember the saying, a p***y once chopped can always be re-chopped as long as the chopper and the choppee agrees that the last time it was chopped, it was WELL CHOPPED.

B.O the father of O.B.O


Quiet money. Fvck poverty!

Their eyes don clear.. PDP are rogues

..

Go back to APC as your brothers do when they fail to realise their dreams. Can't be trusted, for sure

PDP don show this one!

Hmmmmm

Then use the owo Ola to slap the oju of the Adeleke’s.
How Davido treats people comes to mind ���

Politics. Smh

Odds available

PDP can never have peace because the wicked can never have peace.

2022 again , that non serious disco dancer...

PDP will never learn...

Really painful most especially when its so obvious that justice was denied even at the temple of justice.
Sad indeed

I am not a politician but it is obvious that based on performance of the incumbent governors at the time of election pdp lost ekiti but won osun.

VirginSearcher:

You should also remove and throw away your brain since it’s useless

If you want peace of mind for yourself and family anywhere in the world and you want to enjoy your wealth quietly

STAY AWAY FROM POLITICS!!!!!!!

No truth, justice or equity in the land anymore. All has been replaced by sorrow, tears and blood.
