The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has cautioned Governor Ademola Adeleke to stop disgracing the state by celebrating the submission of what it described as “a mere questionable ordinary level certificate” at the governorship election petition tribunal in Osogbo.
In a statement issued by the party’s Director of Media in the state, Chief Kola Olabisi, APC acting state chairman, Sooko Taju Lawal said that it was shameful that a governor could be celebrating the submission of a controversial secondary school document at his early sixties.
Lawal said that it was a shame that it took Adeleke and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to hire the services of no fewer than six Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) to prevent the controversial certificate from being presented, a situation he said was “bungled by the eagle-eyed tribunal panelists who frowned at such infraction with impunity from a so-called state executive”.
Lawal wondered why there should be a delay in the production of a mere certificate if there was nothing to hide by the embattled governor.
He said that Adeleke should consider himself as “a beneficiary of parts of the ills of democracy as his type has no business to be at the apex of authority in any organisation, talk less of a whole state where there is no household that cannot boast of, at least, two verifiable qualified graduates”.
The APC acting chairman wondered “why did it take the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) about three adjournments before the dancing governor could provide his Oluwole-made result?
“In all honesty, coud Adeleke employ someone who parades his type of invalid result at any of his family businesses Has Adeleke forgotten that the said demanded results were presented after much threats and public opprobrium?
“Is it too long for Governor Adeleke and his followers to know that the final results presented were not too different from the blank ones earlier presentet but embarrassingly rejected.
“Adeleke should be bold to tell the whole world, if he is proud of the Oluwole documents he submitted to INEC, how come it required maximum force of law to present them to the public? Adeleke should stop his game of misinforming the public about the true status of his questionable worthless certificate which has brought untold shame to him”.
