Osun 2018: Senator Adeleke Says Win Marks The “Beginning Of Divine Liberation”

Senator Ademola Adeleke is a step closer to becoming the next governor of Osun State.

The newly elected governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, has thanked the people of his state and party members for their support. Adeleke scored 1,569 votes in the PDP primary on Saturday to defeat his closest rival, Akin Ogunbiyi, who finished second with 1,562 votes. Other candidates including Fatai Akinbade got 52 votes, while Nathaniel Oke scored three votes and a total of 56 votes were voided.

“I send very big congratulations to everyone in the Osun PDP family. We have once again blazed the trail by demonstrating to all undemocratic forces how powerful the will of the PEOPLE can be,” Senator Adeleke said in a personally signed message. “We have proved that PDP is a party of true democrats determined to take Osun people from poverty to prosperity.”

I congratulate Dr Akin Ogunbiyi and his hard fighting team for running a good and impressive campaign. It was a brotherly contest in our collective strive to redeem our state, It is, therefore, no gainsaying that we are all winners.”

Senator Ademola Adeleke currently represents Osun West Senatorial District in the National Assembly. Adeleke won the Senatorial election under PDP on July 9, 2017, after the demise of his brother Isiaka Adeleke. The elder brother, Isiaka Adeleke, died on April 23, 2017, while representing Osun West Senatorial District in the National Assembly on the platform of APC.

“My emergence as the governorship candidate of our great party marks the beginning of divine liberation of our dear people from repression and oppression,” Adeleke continued.

“Today is a great Day! I thank TEAM IMOLE and our committed delegates for their steadfastness and undying passion.

The end of phase 1 has come and the start of the great battle to fully liberate our people through the forthcoming general elections must commence.”
