APC Slams Adeleke Over Allegations Against Tinubu, Oyetola

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has come out strongly against Governor Ademola Adeleke, urging him to stop blaming President Bola Tinubu and former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola for his political problems. This reaction follows Adeleke's speech at a campaign rally in Osogbo, where he accused Tinubu and Oyetola of being behind his political misfortunes ahead of the forthcoming governorship election. According to the APC, Adeleke's allegations are baseless and aimed at diverting attention from his own failures. The party's spokesperson, Kola Olabisi, expressed dismay over Adeleke's accusations, stating that the governor is responsible for promoting and funding political violence in the state. Olabisi also questioned Adeleke's decision to grant amnesty to certain political thugs, suggesting that this move is a desperate attempt to garner support. The APC spokesperson reminded Adeleke that his endorsement of Tinubu as the presidential candidate for the 2027 election was voluntary and should not be used as an excuse for his potential defeat in the governorship election. Olabisi emphasized that the forthcoming election will be a test of Adeleke's performance as governor and that he should be prepared for a free and fair contest. The APC's response highlights the growing tension between the party and the governor, with both sides engaging in a war of words ahead of the election.
