The Governor-elect of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke has boasted that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will win next year’s governorship election in Ogun State.
He spoke on Friday at a grand reception organised by the PDP for its new members in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
Adeleke defeated the incumbent Osun governor and candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gboyega Oyetola, in the last governorship election held in July.
The Osun Governor-elect said Prince Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State would get the “Osun treatment” in the 2023 gubernatorial poll.
Meanwhile, the new entrants were from the APC, Labour Party (LP), Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The decampees were received at the party secretariat in Abeokuta by the PDP State Chairman, Hon. Sikirulai Ogundele, and other zonal leaders of the party in the state.
Addressing the gathering, the Governor–elect who was represented by the former South West Secretary of the party, Rev. Bunmi Jenyo, said PDP had exposed APC’s electoral fraud in Osun, insisting that the winning strategy would be replicated in Ogun.
He added that after the PDP’s Osun victory, the ruling party still went to the Tribunal, but expressed confidence that he would be victorious.
Adeleke said: “Like we did in Osun, we are going to repeat the feat in Ogun state. We have exposed all their electoral fraud. We bringing to Ogun state the winning strategy.
“Because we have defeated them in Osun they are still embittered, they went to the Tribunal, but we will still defeat them again.
“They did one thing that we are going to be ready for them in Ogun, they went and hacked the server. They are rogues, APC (members) are rogues, from head to toe and we are going to win them. We won them in Osun and we are going to win in Ogun state,” he added.
Adeleke described the PDP governorship candidate in Ogun, Ladi Adebutu and his running mate, Adekunle Akinlade, as a perfect match capable of unseating the ruling party in the next year’s poll.
