Adeleke Speaks on Attacking Tinubu over Osun LG polls, Predicts Outcome

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has dismissed claims that he made negative remarks about President Bola Tinubu regarding the ongoing local government elections in the state.

He described the reports as false and urged the public to disregard the misleading information.

Speaking to journalists after casting his vote on Saturday, Governor Adeleke praised President Tinubu for upholding the rule of law, which he said made the local government elections possible. He emphasized that the President’s commitment to democratic principles has strengthened democratic practices at all levels of government.

In a statement released by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, the governor said, “Let me affirm that I know Mr. President to be a true democrat, a lover of rule of law, and a believer in the sanctity of the judicial process.

“I know, as a matter of fact, that Mr. President will never authorise a dictatorial violation of the constitution irrespective of who is involved.

“It is crucial to add that Mr. President will never support any action that is capable of generating bloodbath and bloodshed.

“In my second broadcast, I said this about Mr President: ‘We have confidence in the democratic credentials of President Tinubu, who we know will always insist on the rule of law.”

He expressed confidence that his party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), would emerge victorious in the local government elections.
