Osun State Commissioner for Works and Transport, Engr, Oluremi Omowaiye on Wednesday said Senator Ademola Adeleke, the former governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the state cannot defeat him in any election, not to talk of defeating Governor Adegboyega Oyetola.

Adeleke who left Nigeria shortly after the last election to pursue higher educational qualifications in the United States returned to the state last week where he declared interest in the Osun 2022 governorship election. He also asked Governor Oyetola to start preparing his handover notes.

Speaking in an interview with Daily Independent, Omowaiye said Adeleke and his ers are daydreaming if they believe that what happened in the 2018 governorship election, when the All Progressives Congress (APC) had a tough time in defeating the PDP will repeat itself again.

According to him, the APC went through a tough time in the 2018 governorship election due to the problems and disenchantment with the people which had piled up as far back as 2015.

He said “Ademola (Adeleke) cannot defeat me in any election not to talk of Governor Oyetola. If I run with him today, he cannot defeat me. What happened in the 2018 governorship election was a build-up to the challenge our party had. In 2015, we lost two House of Reps seats. In Osun East senatorial district, we lost two House of Reps seats”.

“In December 2015, a House of Assembly member died who represented Ife Central State constituency, Oladejo Makinde died. We had a rerun in 2016 and our party, APC came third. In 2017, when the late Senator Isiaka Adeleke died, we held an election in Osun West senatorial district and we lost 9 out of 10 local governments. So, we shouldn’t have expected any magic in the 2018 governorship election”.

“Don’t also forget that there were a lot of crises in the state which built up till the governorship election in 2018. We had issues of salary modulated payment, religious crisis when students were wearing cassocks, Muslim regalia and masquerade outfits to school. We were also having a regular crisis with the organised labour in the state”.

“This is Oyetola’s third year in government and there has not been a single labour crisis. In fact, during the last May Day rally, the workers endorsed the governor for a second term”.

“That is one of the ways to gauge a government that is loved by the people. There has not been single unrest in the state, except the #EndSARS protest which was a national issue. Then, people were angry because of a lot of things and we sincerely looked at the issues and addressed them. Where we needed to make adjustments, we did that”.

“As at when I came in as Commissioner for Works, there was no single township road that was good in the entire Osun West. Today, we have fixed Gbogan Township road; Ido Osun Township road; we have done parts of the road in Ede. We are doing Iwo. We have collaborated with the federal government to fix the Osogbo-Iwo road.

“We have done Ejigbo to Ede and as I speak to you, we are doing a 3.8 kilometres Ejigbo township road which will be commissioned very soon”.

“Today, Osun is among the few states paying minimum wage. We have paid a lot of outstanding pensions and gratuities. In Ilesha where I hailed from, the biggest market called Atakumosa market got burnt in 2015. Again, part of it got burnt in 2018. We could not repair it from 2015 till 2020 that we embarked upon the repair”.

“Today, we have finished the first phase of modernising the market. As I speak, the second phase is going to start this week. We have restored back school uniforms and names of schools. So, the people are happy with this istration and therefore, it is not possible for the candidate of any party to defeat Governor Oyetola”.

“Ademola Adeleke is not even a candidate of PDP yet and they might not even give him the ticket. But even if they give him the ticket, he cannot defeat me. How will he defeat me, let alone defeat Governor Oyetola, a governor who has performed creditably well, even to the iration of the opposition without making noise?”.

[/s]only God knows where these online miscreants do sit to hear nonsense they dish out here.

If not for the APC abracadabra, who was Oyetola winning the election. We dwelling in Osun and following our politics all know Oyetola fell to Demola Adeleke.
Some low lifers go sit down for Lagos to tell us sh¡t from the bull

To hell with all of them, Oyetola or Adeleke.

2022 is not 2018. All the unpopular policies of Aregbesola that made so many people to vote for Adeleke back then have been reversed. The same workers that were against APC the last time out are the ones campaigning for Oyetola's second term. I am not God but I tell tell you confidently that Oyetola will win reelection massively. It won't even be close in any way this time around.

Everyone knew 2018 was massively rig, especially the rerun.

Adeleke can't lose to Oyetola

Lmao. He will lose . Na green ticket for Oyetola.��
Ask civil servants now, they don't want to hear Aregbesola and Adeleke.

Are you from Osun Auditor General?
You always defending APC even when it does not meet eyes.

My fear for Oyetola is if Aregbesola and his ers work against him.

I won’t argue with you anyway.

I pray we both live to witness the result of the election, though ain’t in Ife, Osun and ..... anymore.

I love the person of Oyetola, but he has been financially incapacitated by his predecessor by the huge debt on silly policies left behind. This actually make him unpopular to the people of the state, most especially Osogbo zone where he had the “upper hand” in the last election. He doesn’t have a good recommendation in both Osogbo Local Government areas.
Well, Ife Central and East LGAs may still stick to the Omisore factor.

The civil servants would have embraced Oyetola, but the incessant inflation from the economic policy of Buhari’s APC will likely work against him.

He once attacked me like I stole his prick ni.

Make all of them lose, make we no have any Governor.

Lmao

I thought oyetola is performing??

Adeleke already defeated Oyetola

It was the Supreme Court that messed up by somersaulting Common Sense and doing a backflip on the Law

In the other room

They can’t work for Adeleke and even they try, they will fail. It was the reliance on Rauf and his ers to deliver the Ijesha votes that almost cost the party the state in 2018. That mistake won’t be repeated in 2022 as Oyetola already has his own people on ground.

Ode if not for Abuja phone call you and your oga wouldn't av got there
