The National Secretary of the All Progressive Congress, Dr Ajibola Bashiru is frustrated about the incredible delivery of projects and services by Governor Ademola Adeleke. He is equally shocked by the transformation of Osogbo, his home town, hence the leveling of baseless allegations and the twisting of harmless statements by the Chief of Staff to Governor Adeleke, Hon Kazeem Akinleye.
According to the statement by the Governor’ Spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed on Sunday, noted that, At no time did the Governor or the Chief of Staff threaten violence as there is no reason to do so in view of the incredible level of support and goodwill the current administration is enjoying in Osun state. Governor Adeleke is a man of peace who did not raise a finger when he was electorally robbed in 2018 while the Chief of Staff is a widely known peace loving political strategist who peacefully schemed alongside others for the APC’s defeats in the last elections.
“The APC Secretary is only twisting facts, misinterpreting phrases and putting criminal colouration to a normal call on Osun people to reward good work of Governor Adeleke with a new mandate in 2026 and protect their votes from electoral bandits of any colour.
“We also note that the APC Secretary is surprised and agitated about the increasing partnership and collaboration between the Adeleke administration and the Federal Government. He is really in shock with regular visits and commendations for the state governor from top federal officials who genuinely appreciate good governance delivery in Osun state.
“We call on security agencies to ignore the false alarm raised by the APC National Secretary. Neither Governor Adeleke nor his Chief of Staff is an agent of violence. It is the APC leaders who have been boasting about their plots to steal 2026 elections in Osun state.
“In response, the State government and its functionaries have been advocating for free and fair polls and the need for people to protect their votes.
Is the APC Secretary afraid of calls on people to protect their votes?
Instead of maligning top government leaders who are doing so much to develop Osogbo, Dr Bashiru should be thankful to Governor Adeleke for his extensive developmental scorecard in Osogbo and across the state.
