Senator Adeleke writes PDP, declares governorship ambition

Ademola Adeleke, senator representing Osun west senatorial
district, has declared his interest to contest the September 22
governorship election.

Adeleke made this known in a letter he addressed to the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).

Aleleke, who has spent barely a year in the senate, replaced
Isiaka, his elder brother, who died in April 2017.

A few days to the election, Adeleke defected from the All
Progressives Congress (APC) to the PDP and still won.

In his letter to the leadership of the PDP, he said the decision
to contest the gubernatorial election is born out of a conviction
that he possesses “all it takes to unite leaders and members of our
party as well as galvanise the general electorate towards ensuring
a resounding victory for the PDP in the forthcoming poll.”

“In accordance with the directive of the leadership of our great
party, I wish to respectfully express my intent to vie for the
ticket of the party as its candidate in the Osun state governorship
election holding on the 22nd September, 2018,” Adeleke wrote.

“I am a member of the party in Sagba Abogunde ward 2 of the Ede
north local government in the Osun west senatorial district.

“As a loyal man from the strongest political base of the PDP in
Osun state, I am willing, able and prepared to offer myself for
this great service if given the opportunity to fly our flag as the
governorship candidate.

“I pledge my continuous commitment and support to the stability,
growth and success of the PDP at all levels.”

Before his death, Isiaka planned to run for the governorship
election in the state.
