The Secretary to Osun State Government, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti on Monday resigned his appointment and also left his party, the All Progressives Congress following the indirect primary system that his party adopted despite his rejection of it.
Adeoti has however joined the Action Democratic Party (ADP) where he has been picked as the party’s governorship candidate for the September 22 election in the state.
Apparently reffering to leaders of his dumped party (APC), the former SSG said ADP would liberate the state from the grip of feudal lords.
He made this known while rendering his acceptance speech of the ADP’s candidature in Osogbo.
He said, “first and foremost, I wish to express my profound gratitude to God for making today a reality in our individual lives and existence as a people under the command of God Almighty.
“My limitless appreciation also goes to the leadership and members of our dear Action Democratic Party (ADP) in the Osun State over your expression of implicit confidence in my person. You have demonstrated your fervent love for the welfare and security of our people by pushing sentiments to the background and ensuring my election as the gubernatorial candidate of our party, ADP in Osun State.
“Feudalism and absolute use of power have for long being the enemies of democracy. These twin evils of injustice of one man to another man have brought down great empires, kingdoms and famous kingdoms. Human beings have always devised means of escaping feudal oppression and naked demonstration and use of absolute power.
It is in the ambit of history that humanity reserves the right to shake off the yokes of oppression and liberate themselves as decent members of the global community. In the process, history is made, democracy is entrenched while the cage of oppression into which the oppressors have put their victims physically and mentally is broken forever. That process is the way of history. That is the path we have taken to liberate our dear people of Osun State from socio-political servitude and economic oppression; sublime and implied.
Today, we make history in our collective resolve to liberate our dear state from the grip of feudal lords who are so poor in humanity that all they have is money without conscience and humanity.
Fellow party women and men, whenever the history of Osun State is being written, the coming generation will not forget the efforts we have made today in liberating Osun from a clique of powerful individuals and pseudo-democrats, who for long had seen the state as their milking cow.
The task ahead is a humongous and demanding one that necessitates our collective resolve to put all hands on the plough to plant the field, fill our barn with adequate food on the tables of our people and secure that against the ravages of power merchants. This must be done with a view to ensuring overall success for the ADP by leaving no stone unturned in clearly winning the coming September 22, 2018 governorship election in Osun State.
With God on our side, the Osun State of our collective dream as handed over to us by our forebears shall spring forth and our people shall all be happier of it.
I assure you all of meaningful, carefully conceived and well planned initiatives that will tackle poverty, diseases, misery and hunger. Our partys initiatives will ensure that only true farmers rather than political/portfolio farmers enjoy the support of government in Osun State. Our team shall ensure that various policies and programmes to be introduced by us shall take care of the interests of all and sundry with a sole purpose of putting genuine smiles on the faces of our people.
As a grassroots politician, who had passed through virtually all stages of political leadership as Councillor, Local Government Supervisor, party administrator and later as Secretary to the State Government, I present a sober, deep and solid experiences critically needed to lead a people-centered and masses-oriented administration as the Governor of Osun State.
Our administration, when it is elected and sworn into office, by the infinite grace of God, shall be your own, as your intellectual inputs into the daily operations and performance of government shall be demanded, accepted and appropriately utilized in our peoples collective interest.
I want to assure you of my unwavering commitment to executing the Action Democratic Partys ideals as contained in its manifestoes to the letter.
Today is not a day for lengthy speeches but a day to take stock of our states present condition and how we can make life better for our people.
I therefore want to seek your support in ensuring success for our party, by launching all out to mobilize support for our partys victory, come September 22, 2018.
We shall collectively take the struggle to all the nooks and crannies of our state in the course of our campaigning for the vital support of the Osun electorate.
I therefore want to charge us on the need to encourage all adults of voting-age in our respective domains to take advantage of the ongoing Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) registration exercise and get registered to participate in the September 22 gubernatorial poll.”
