National Chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff, on Thursday, personally
presented the party’s flag to Ademola Adeleke, candidate for the Osun West
by-election.
Ademola, brother of deceased Senator Adeleke, in his
response boasted that he will win the by-election on July 8.
“I believe victory is ours. We are winning. Nobody can stop
us in Osun State. After the July 8 election, we will surely come back to this
PDP national secretariat to celebrate our victory”, he said.
Meanwhile, Osun Chapter of the All Progressive Congress
(APC) has described as total falsehood the reasons Ademola Adeleke gave for
his withdrawal from the primary election for the Senatorial ticket for the Osun
West district conducted on Wednesday by the party.
Oyatomi called Adeleke an opportunist and an upstart, “who
was committed to stealing the party’s mandate to the detriment of loyal and
committed members that have toiled and sacrificed to build a formidable party
of choice in the state and the country at large.”
