Ahead of the September 22 governorship election in Osun state, 7 aspirants of the People Democratic Party-PDP have called on the party’s leadership to drop Senator Ademola Adeleke as the party’s flagbearer.
The aspirants in an address at a joint press conference read by senator Olasunkanmi Akinlabi, allege that the candidacy of Senator Ademola Adeleke will further divide rather than unite the PDP in Osun State.
According to them, the PDP may not be able to secure the support of critical stakeholders in the state with Adeleke, because of his not too impressive public conduct as a senator of the Federal Republic.
The aspirants include; Dr Akin Ogunbiyi; senators Olasunkanmi Akinlabi and Felix Ogunwale; Prof. Adeolu Durotoye and Dr Ayoade Adewopo.
Other aspirants are; Adejare Bello and Jide Adeniji. They were both absent at the press conference, but their names were listed as supporting the call.
