Osun APC Lacks Understanding Of Intergovernmental Relations, Comments On Adeleke’s Visit Disrespectful To The Office Of President-PDP
Osun State PDP has asked members of the state APC to put a stop to the barrage of insults directed at the presidency following Governor Ademola Adeleke’s visit to President Bola Tinubu at his Lagos residence.
The state PDP Chairman, Hon Sunday Bisi, in a statement he issued in Osogbo and made available to Team@orientactualmags.com described the comments made by APC as unbecoming and disgraceful, accusing members of the opposition party of lacking basic understanding of governance and intergovernmental courtesy in a democratic setting.
‘The vitriolic outbursts from APC stalwarts since President Tinubu received Governor Adeleke at his Lagos residence show a total disregard for decorum and an alarming ignorance of democratic principles.
Such a conduct is beneath the proud Yoruba tradition of mutual respect and civility’ the statement said.
The party emphasized that Governor Adeleke will continue to engage all democratic avenues, including discussions with the president where and when necessary, to secure meaningful development for the people of Osun who made him their governor.
The PDP pointed out that the state APC is in the habit of showing disrespect to government officials, citing similar outbursts during the visits of First Lady, Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu, ranking member of the House of Representatives, Ado Doguwa, and lately, Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, ‘all of who faced unprovoked insults from Osun APC elements simply for acknowledging the governor’s developmental strides’.
Drawing from history, Hon Bisi reminded the state APC of how former governor Bisi Akande, despite party differences, hosted the then President Olusegun Obasanjo for 3 good days , jointly inaugurated projects and engaged in dialogue for the state’s benefit.
‘That’s how real governance works. Perhaps today’s APC chronic minnows should seek wisdom from respected leaders like Baba Bisi Akande on the true meaning of leadership and statesmanship’ he added.
The party urged the APC to rise above petty politics and focus on constructive engagement for the welfare of people while praising Governor Adeleke for maintaining a firm focus on peace, progress, and purposeful dialogue-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
