THE leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, Southwest geopolitical zone, has declared that Osun State Governor-Elect, Ademola Adeleke, will emerge winner at the Election Petition Tribunal.
Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, of the All Progressive Congress, APC, had headed to the Tribunal in Osogbo, to challenge the victory of Adeleke at the governorship poll.
But, the former zonal secretary of the PDP in the Southwest, Rev. Bunmi Jenyo, while receiving some defectors at the PDP secretariat in Abeokuta, Ogun State, yesterday, said that Adeleke would come out victorious at the tribunal.
Jenyo, who maintained that with over 20,000 members of APC defecting to PDP, the governorship candidate of the party in Ogun, Ladi Adebutu, would emerge the winner of the poll come 2023.
He said that the party’s leadership would bring the secret of votes to the state as done in Osun State, where Adeleke emerged the winner, to enable Adebutu become the next governor of the state.
Jenyo said, “We will bring in the secret of vote to Ogun, they have gone to the court and we will defeat them again. The reason Adeleke is not here is because of the tribunal and by the grace of God we will defeat them in Osun. We are going to defeat them.”
Adebutu, while assuring the new members of unity in the party, explained to them that he would defeat Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State as Adeleke defeated Oyetola in Osun State.
He accused Abiodun’s government of allegedly using the sum of N50,000,000 from the budget to purchase a printer, urging the youth and the people of the state to vote out APC and vote him as the next governor of the state.
