Osun 2018: Adeleke to fulfil late brother’s dream.

THE Senator elect in the recently concluded Osun West Senatorial District bye election, Dr Ademola Adeleke has pledged to fulfil his late brother’s dream of becoming the next governor of Osun State.

Ademola, who contested the election under the platform of  the PDP confided in his loyalists shortly after his victory, saying “I will contest the governorship election next year, to fulfil my late brother’s dream”, sources disclosed.

Political analysts, however posited that, with the recent political tsunami in the state, if the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) failed to do the needful as expected, Adeleke will win convincingly. They added that he won the election with landslide victory because Ede people stood by the family.

The analysts further advised him to settle the Omisore faction with the deputy governor’s slot ,while assuring that Osun West Senatorial District will vote en masse for Adeleke.

Interestingly, they jointly disclosed that the state governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola is about making a costly mistake, as his preferences are from Osun Central, while the West are seriously agitating.

It would be recalled that his elder brother, the late lawmaker, Isiaka Adeleke, who was the first executive Governor of Osun State, and Senator representing Osun West Senatorial District in the National Assembly, before his death, was also eyeing the governorship seat in the state and had visited places for consultation ahead of 2018 elections.

His tragic exit in Osun politics has created suspicion in the polity and alters political calculations especially as 2018 approaches. Political analysts believe that Senator Adeleke has laid a good foundation and has an excellent chance to succeed Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, the incumbent governor, which they claimed his brother, Ademola enjoyed during the bye election.
