Osun gov’ship: Don’t overheat polity, Oyetola tells Adeleke

The campaign council of Osun State Governor Adegboyega Oyetola and candidate of the All Progressives Congress has warned the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Ademola Adeleke, against overheating the polity ahead of the July 16 governorship election in the state.

In a statement by its Director-General, Senator Ajibola Bashiru, the campaign council described as unacceptable, a statement credited to Adeleke that he had acquired enough money in hard currencies for the election.

Ademola had, over the weekend, during the PDP’s Osun Central Campaign rally, said: “Osun people, you’re the ones to decide. If it’s about money, I have enough. I came with plenty money. And it is not only naira, I came with dollars, pounds and Euro. This time around in Osun, it is fire for fire.”

Reacting yesterday, Bashiru said Osun was not for sale to the highest bidder.

He stated: “Osun people are not gullible. We’ve left them in no doubt of the quality our party, the APC and our administration are made of, including the capacity of our candidate to deliver in the past three and half years.

“We’ve proved through our inclusive governance strategy that our people are our strength and that we do not take them for granted and we’ll never take them for granted.”

He also cautioned Adeleke against overheating the polity with his “incendiary comments and violent tendencies”, wondering what the PDP’s candidate meant by saying ‘it’s fire for fire this time around’.
