Why Gov Adeleke Visited Former Gov Bisi Akande In Ibadan-Osun PDP

Governor Ademola Adeleke has embarked on consultation and engagement efforts with a view to ensuring that normalcy, peace and harmony return to the State of the Living Spring, Osun State PDP, has submitted.

Reacting to the governor’s visit to the residence of Chief Bisi Akande in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, on Tuesday, the state PDP Chairman, Chief Sunday Bisi noted in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com that Adeleke ‘is reaching out to all shades of opinion’ while urging him to maintain the tempo.

The party added that what the governor has done is ‘a sign of statesmanship’ and ‘a demonstration of leadership acumen’.

‘We note with disdain the anger of the Osun APC over Governor Adeleke’s visit to Chief Akande. We are not surprised by the vituperations of the vampire-driven elements within the Osun APC, who are bitter that their plot to destabilize Osun State has failed.

Governor Adeleke lost six of his party members to the cold hands of death, killed by bullets from APC thugs. Yet, as a leader with a deep sense of responsibility, he has launched consultations with state elders across party lines to rebuild peace and restore the rule of law.

‘Omo onilu ki fe kotu’  a Yoruba proverb, aptly describes Governor Adeleke’s actions. Only a bastard would rejoice in the recent killings perpetrated by elements within the APC. As our governor and our party are made up of responsible men and women of this great state, we will not support setting it ablaze to satisfy the grievances of sore losers who were defeated in a free and fair election.

As such, Mr. Governor is reaching out to all shades of opinion. His agenda, as it was before the crisis, remains to engage men and women of goodwill in salvaging the state from further conflict. Genuine democrats abide by the rule of law, and that is precisely what Governor Adeleke is advocating.

The governor and his party are embracing peace not out of weakness but as a demonstration of wisdom and political strength, reinforced by the massive goodwill we enjoy from the people. The people stand firmly with us, and we must protect them from political bandits and marauders who fear free and fair elections.

Regarding the illegal occupation of local government secretariats, the party and its government are committed to using legal means to restore legitimately elected officials. We will not act like arsonists or pseudo-dictators who have lost all understanding of democracy.

We commend Mr. Governor for this initiative and urge him to continue his consultations. We have a sacred duty to protect the state from anarchists who are dangerously intoxicated by a false sense of temporary power’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
