Following the publication of list of Osun State governorship candidates for the July 16 election, the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ademola Adeleke, has called for unity in the party, AMILOADED reports.
Sen. Adeleke, in a statement issued on Friday and signed by the Director of Media and Strategy, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, noted that the publication of list of candidates was the final stage of the struggle for the party’s ticket, calling on all aspirants within the party to join hands with him as mobilisation commences for the state election.
Senator Adeleke, who charged Osun voters on the new era of “government’s responsiveness, compassion and care”, said, “It is time for us as a party to join hands to face the APC to secure a landslide victory in July.”
“We have disagreed among ourselves. Now is the time for us to forgive and forget. We are not enemies; we are brothers. In brotherhood, we shall contest and win. So I call on our elders, leaders and fellow aspirants to strengthen and expand this winning train,” he added.
While assuring party members across the state of his determination to lead the party to victory, Senator Adeleke said the “game is up for the usurper in the Abere Government House”.
“Our people are ready to vote and elect me as Governor because they know me, they have my record as a Senator, they know I am pro-people, they know my agenda is for them. Osun people know I will return government to the people, away from anti-people interest that exploit and pauperise them,” the statement noted.
He further commended the national and state leaders of the party for “their dogged support for truth, justice and fairness”, pledging to remain loyal to the people, the party and the nation when elected governor of the state.
