Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has implored his predecessor, Adegboyega Oyetola, to quit listening to the devil’s preaching about a potential return to the governorship, claiming that God does not tolerate election fraud and banditry.
At a welcome prayer organized for him by APC leaders, and supporters earlier today in the state capital, Oyetola said that God had promised him a return to his position as governor of the state.
However, Adeleke reminded former Governor Oyetola in a statement released by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, that there is life after losing the election, and that the people of Osun have moved on and are now taking advantage of “a new governance of openness, accountability, and responsiveness to yearnings and aspirations of the citizenry.
The statement reads: “The Holy books even noted that the devil’s whispering is real and no one should mistake the voice of the devil for God. Our Almighty God has spoken resoundingly in favour of a new Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke. Mr Oyetola should better be reading ‘auzubilahi mina shaytani rajeem’ so he can hear the true voice of God – that a new leader is anointed by divine will for the Osun people.
“Osun has launched a new chapter. This new leadership has returned state power to the people who are now feeling the new air of government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Never will Osun be returned to the years of locust.”
