The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has told Governor Ademola Adeleke to spare President Bola Tinubu and Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola of his political travails as the State prepares for the governorship election on August 15, 2026.
Osun APC also reminded Governor Adeleke of Accord party that his endorsement of President Tinubu for January 2027 presidential election should not be an excuse for failing to prepare for his re-election.
In a statement by APC's Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi, the main opposition party in the State urged Adeleke to face what it called his self-induced challenges and stop the blame game.
RhemDy News recalls that Governor Adeleke, during a campaign rally at Olorunda Local Government Area of the state on Monday had alleged politically motivated arrests, victimisation and killings of members of his Accord party, accusing the president of non-interference while also alleging that the Police have been compromised.
The Governor further cautioned Oyetola against alleged attempt to derail democracy by instigating violence, calling on Tinubu to call him to order.
Olabisi, however, maintained that playing up emotions to curry undue sympathy from the people, most especially the electorate would not work for the Adeleke's re-election.
"We want to remind Governor Adeleke that his recall of the endorsement of President Tinubu as his presidential candidate in the 2027 election wasn’t forced on him and such his decision would not be the reason why he should not be prepared for a free, fair, credible and inclusive forthcoming governorship election in Osun State.
“The unsubstantiated allegations of the puppet Governor Adeleke who covers his inadequacy by resulting to dancing when injection of intellect is needed against President Tinubu and Oyetola are misplaced and frivolous as such amount to making a justification for his imminent defeat in the forthcoming governorship election.
“One would have expected the sinking governor to state in his needless political inciting statement session at the rally to give the reasons why he has made the state Government House a refuge for the political hoodlums who have been on the wanted list of the police and why he has been empowering the dangerous political thugs with juicy political appointments," the APC said.
The party added that the main problem with Governor Adeleke is that competition is strange to him "which is the reason he is crying of political persecution all over the place without any tangible proof to establish his frivolous allegations.”
He further argued that while the APC governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, would leverage on his competence and not bargain for less, Adeleke was “wining and dining and frolicking with women of easy virtues across the globe in the name of sourcing for illusive foreign investors for close to four years.”
