The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described as asinine, the latest falsehood campaign the disjointed All Progressives Congress (APC) against Governor Ademola Adeleke, warning that no amount of concoctions will sway the good people of Osun to return to the dark and painful era of the APC in the state.
The PDP in a statement signed by its State Chairman, Hon. Sunday Bisi, noted the APC in Osun clearly exhibited daftness by the outrageous lies that Governor Adeleke is coercing support for his re-election bid, saying the APC has continued to leave no one in doubt that it has nothing meaningful to offer Osun people, hence, the consistent resort to fabricating lies against Governor Adeleke.
Hon. Bisi pointed out that Governor Adeleke incredible performance, both in terms of welfare and infrastructural development naturally earned him the support of not just those in the transportation sector, but also across other sectors, saying, the Osun APC through its chairman, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, is only echoing the disappointment of his party’s rejection from transporters in the state during a recent failed attempt to win them to its side.
“Contrary to the false impression that Sooko Tajudeen Lawal tried to create, we authoritatively gathered that Osun APC advances to transporters in Osun did not yield and the only thing Kola Olabisi could come up with was to lie to the public,” Hon. Bisi noted.
“To any reasonable mind in Osun, it would not be so hard to understand why transporters in Osun turned down APC advances. Its time at the helm in Osun state brought nothing but pains and anguish, and it is therefore nothing but nonsense on the part of Sooko Tajudeen Lawal to try and cover for his party’s failure and the consequent rejection by cooking up cheap lies.
“Only parasitic elements as the past clearly showed us with the APC that will ever contemplate that Governor Adeleke, going by the monumental infrastructural facelift he is giving to Osun, will need to force support, especially when the only alternative are those who almost drove the state into ditch through reckless financial mismanagement and poor welfare attitude.”
Hon. Bisi called on Osun APC to count the ruling PDP out of its devilish way to gain support, noting that it is never in the practice of the PDP to subscribe to oath-taking or any other voodoo means to retain support. Besides, the PDP administration is too busy to fix the state from the ruins created by APC than going about coercing people for support.
“It is well known to Osun people that the APC operates more like an occultic group than a political party, and so, can only be the one who deploys oath-taking to gain support. It must be this understanding, I presume, that is giving Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, the archaic impression about he PDP, but unfortunately, he is damned wrong,” the PDP chairman noted.
“The PDP only way to gaining and retaining support is good governance, and this much explains the energy and zeal that Governor Adeleke is putting into turning Osun around for the better. While the Adeleke administration has been focused in getting Osun people on its side through series of impactful and visible programmes and projects, the APC has been fixated on spewing lies about Governor Adeleke and in some cases, pry into his personal life.
“The reason for this is no other than the wasteful years of the APC in Osun, because for the twelve years it was at the helm of affairs, the stories of pains and mismanagement reigned supreme. Not even the immediate past administration led by the APC has anything tangible to woo support of the people, hence, the resort to lies and inanities.
“As a party, we will not be distracted by the shameless attitude of charlatans who seek power not because of the people but to service their miserable lives. Governor Adeleke will continue to invest in the wellbeing of the people through meaningful interventions, and in turn, get their support, while those who are struggling so hard to get back the trust of the people they wasted through crude mismanagement and gross incompetence will continue to wail.”

Hon. Sunday Bisi,
Osun State PDP Chairman
