Adeleke Has Nothing To Offer Osun Than Frivolous Promises – APC
The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the 2019 gubernatorial election, Ademola Adeleke as an individual who has nothing to offer the people of the State other than making frivolous promises and draw back the progress of the State.
The statement which was signed by Kunle Oyatomi, the party’s Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy and made available to JomogNews Nigeria is in reaction to the statement credited to Ademola Adeleke when he visited Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi on Wednesday.
According to the Oyatomi, Adeleke allegedly stated that, “by God’s grace, I will make provision for a private jet as a gift to make all Ooni’s local and international trips easier. I am not making mouth (sic), it is what I will do.”
Describing the Senator as a disgrace to his family and party for insulting the revered monarch, he added that Adeleke’s statement was a joke taken too far.
The party spokesperson stated that, “It is ridiculous, pedestrian and complete lack of understanding on how a government runs. Lagos State government with its humongous revenue, never considered a private jet and helicopter for Oba Akiolu of Lagos. Ooni Ogunwusi, as a young successful entrepreneur knows what it takes to have a private jet and should neither be deceived nor insulted by anyone. He can comfortably afford a jet if he so wishes.
“It is now obvious and glaring to the people of Osun that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has no quality aspirants except welfare parasites, treasury looters and harbinger of lazy people without nothing to offer the good people of the state. If Ademola Adeleke is being paraded as a candidate, it is a pity.”
Oyatomi observed that Adeleke’s statement had exposed the PDP aspirant as a misfit and economic illiterate.
While demanding to know how Senator Ademola Adeleke would buy the private jet as a gift to the royal father, the APC asked if he will approach his elder brother Deji Adeleke for use of his personal funds.
“Has he provided one for the Timi of Edeland? How many royal fathers will he give private jets? How much has the Adeleke family provided for the repair of Ede roads and the uplifting of the people of his community?
“This insulting statement further makes Adeleke and his party look childish, petty, irresponsible and unreliable,” he said.
While assuring that Osun will never again return to the PDP era of insecurity, treasury looting and underdevelopment, Oyatomi added that Adeleke was welcome to the 2022 guber race since he was desirous to waste more family funds.
The Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Speaker Martin Amaewhule, has initiated impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and Deputy Ngozi Odu, issuing them a seven-day notice to respond to allegations of gross misconduct.
The Assembly cited eight specific allegations of gross misconduct as the basis for the move.
This is the third time Fubara and Odu would be facing impeachment proceedings from the Assembly since coming to office in 2023.
Attempts to impeach them in 2023 and 2025, amid political feuds between the Governor and his predecessor and erstwhile political god-father, now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, had been halted by presidential intervention.
Here are the allegations below:
1. Reckless and unconstitutional expenditure of public funds
2. Unconstitutional misappropriation of public funds
3. Hindering the Rivers Assembly from performing its constitutional duties
4. Illegal appointments of persons without screening by the House of Assembly as provided by the Constitution
5. Seizure of salaries and funds meant for Assembly members
6. Seizure of salaries of the clerk of the Rivers House of Assembly, Emeka Amadi
7. Refusal to implement provisions of the Constitution on financial autonomy of the legislature and the judiciary
8. Withholding of funds meant for the running of the Rivers House of Assembly Service Commission and hindering its activities
Lilian Adebayo, the wife of the 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, has said that the party will unseat the ruling All Progressive Party at the 2027 election if Nigerians are true to themselves.
Mrs Adebayo made this assertion known on Wednesday during an interview with journalists after an event in Abuja.
According to her, the opposition party has overcome its crisis after the expulsion of its former chairman, Shehu Gabam and others.
She said Nigerians should vote the APC out in the 2027 general election due to the hardship the party has plunged citizens into.
“There is always a crisis in the party; the SPD has been able to handle its own. The problems in the party have been resolved.
“He has a great chance of winning the election if Nigerians are honest with themselves. If Nigerians think that the ones they consistently vote for would move the country forward, they live in denial,” she concerning the husband.
Recall that SDP recently expelled Gabam and other party executives.
The party’s state chairmen on Wednesday urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the police to investigate Gabam over alleged misappropriation.
In a significant political move, Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday, October 14, 2025.
Mbah announced his decision during a televised broadcast in Enugu after weeks of speculation.
He said, “Today, after a long reflection, we have made the decision to leave the Peoples Democratic Party and join the All Progressives Congress.”
Mbah explained that his decision to join the PDP was informed by the need to reshape Enugu and reorganise the politics of the state.
“Today, I stand before you to announce a break from the past and to share a decision that will shape the road ahead. This concerns our values, how we organize ourselves politically and how we secure the future of our project and our people.
“Leadership sometimes demands painful decisions in the service of higher principles and goals. And there comes a time, when everyone must make a bold choice to determine their destiny.”
Ahead of the governor’s defection, all members of his cabinet had on joined the ruling party.
Governor Mbah’s Senior Media Aide, Dan Nwomeh, confirmed the mass defection in a video posted on his social media handles on Monday. In the video, several government officials were seen openly declaring their allegiance to the APC, chanting praises for President Bola Tinubu and affirming their commitment to the new party.
“Enugu State Cabinet Members join the APC with full chest along with Governor PN Mbah,” Nwomeh stated.
The officials, including commissioners and top aides, could be heard in the video declaring, “We are now in APC; tomorrow is here; it is APC all the way; it is Jagaban all the way; from top to bottom.”
The collective defection marks a significant political shift in Enugu State, which has been a PDP stronghold since 1999.
