Stop Engaging In Political Banditry, You Have No Mandate To Reclaim

Osun State Governor-elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has slammed Governor Adegboyega Oyetola for claiming he will retrieve his lost mandate.

Naija News reports that while speaking on Saturday during the 31st Iragbiji day in Iragbiji, Boripe Local Government Area of the state, OOyetola had insisted that he won the governorship election.

The Osun State governor expressed optimism that he would grace the 32nd celebration as the governor next year.

“By the special grace of Allah, In Sha Allah, I shall grace this occasion next year, still as the Osun Governor.

“I have no doubt in my mind that I shall reclaim my mandate”, Oyetola was quoted as saying.

Reacting in a statement by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed on Sunday, Adeleke stated that the Osun State governor has no mandate to reclaim as he was soundly defeated in the July 16 poll.

While calling attention to the rabid pillaging of Osun state assets since July election, Adeleke said the governor is engaging in political banditry.

According to the Osun Governor-elect, every official, elected or appointed, who partake in the diversion of the states funds will have their day before a panel of inquiry.

Adeleke said: “The antics of a false democrat whose role model are little tyrants and trumpists of this world.

“From media trial to outright sponsorship of falsehood against proceedings at the Tribunal, Mr Oyetola and the All Progressive Congress (APC) have practically abandoned diligent prosecution of their petition, while chasing shadows with unrelated and unpleased applications and submissions.

“Oyetola has been exhibiting the highest level of leadership hypocrisy in recent Nigerian history as he supervises last minute ruining of the state, while parroting his false hope of reclaiming a non-existing mandate.

“You know you are going. You are emptying the treasury and laying bobby traps for Osun people.

“Yet, you mount rooftop every now and then to deceive your gullible associates and accomplices in political banditry.

“Our message to you and your team is simple. This is your last week in Government House.

“Pack all what you want. But be rest assured that every official, elected or appointed, who partake in the diversion of our common patrimony, will have their day before people’s panels of inquiry.”
