The Osun state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to perish the thought of wrestling power from Governor Ademola Adeleke.
The party dismissed the negative reaction of the APC to the overwhelming endorsements for re-election received by Governor Ademola Adeleke recently, adding that it was the last kick of a dying horse.
Speaking via a statement signed by its Chairman, Sunday Bisi on Monday, the PDP said the Osun APC must purge itself of the arrogance of not recognising the will of the people in a democracy, declaring that no amount of ranting or innuendos will takeaway the fact that Osun people are solidly behind Adeleke.
Bisi lashed at the Osun APC for showing no remorse at all for the hopelessness and pains that it’s misgovernance and bad financial decisions inspired while it administer the affairs of the state.
He said, “It is a pity that the Osun APC has been lost to illusion that it is failing to see that Osun people are solidly behind Governor Ademola Adeleke. Osun APC’s irrational contest of the will of the people is a danger to our democracy and should concern all and sundry.
“Contrary to the erroneous postulation of the Osun APC, Governor Adeleke earned the endorsements for another term in office on the merit of the remarkable work he has done in his first two years. In infrastructure, not only has Governor Adeleke initiated new roads and bridges, but also completed some that were abandoned by the preceding APC administration.
“If the Osun APC had any honour left with it, the right thing to do was to acknowledge it, but we suspect they are so ashamed and would want to keep it away from the public. They are however mistaken, as the truth of their failure while in office was too open to be concealed and the public are well aware of how much Governor Adeleke is working to fix their mess.”
Bisi pointed out that it is fallacious for the Osun APC to think the people will return those who abandoned their welfare and failed miserably in upscaling infrastructure in the state back to power.
“Under the APC, promotions were given but the financial aspect of it was left unattended to. Governor Adeleke came and not only implemented the financial consequences of the promotion, but also cashbacked it. The same thing with pensioners who have received more release of their bond certificate in two years than in twelve years of the APC in Osun.
“Yet, the Osun APC is wondering why the people are endorsing Governor Adeleke for re-election. Except for delusion, the reason is clear and only those who wants the retrogression of Osun will do otherwise,” he added.
