The lawmaker representing Ede North, Ede South, Ejigbo and Egbedore federal constituency, Hon. Bamidele Salam has called out the All Progressives Congress in Osun State over its alleged plan to stop Governor Ademola Adeleke from his re-election.
The federal lawmaker said APC do not trust in its own pedigree to win the hearts of the electorate, adding that the party don’t want a fair contest for power.
Salam stated this in a post on his Facebook page, adding that the Osun APC do not believe it has what it takes to win elections without threats, intimidation, bribery, and manipulations!
According to him, the APC in 2022 concocted lies on certificates, invented fake videos, procured fake lawsuits and used all manner of manipulation to stop Governor Adeleke, but failed.
He also accused the party of starving the governor of funds, manipulating courts, threatening a state of emergency and forcefully occupying local governments in a commando manner, all in a bid to stop the giant strides Adeleke is making in governance.
You have seized funds meant for local governments for almost one year now. Yet he continues to pay local government workers, maintain primary health centres, fix roads and do other things meant to be executed with the funds you seized.
“You employed some hyena to tear down his political party from the top but he escaped and got a platform to contest for another term.
“Now, you started again by inventing fake factional primaries just to stop him from being on the ballot.
“You constantly boast of Federal might to use security forces to manipulate the electoral process in your favour. You don’t want a fair contest for power.
“You don’t trust your own pedigree to win the hearts of the electorate. You don’t believe that you have what it takes to win elections without threats, without intimidation, without bribery, and without manipulations!.”
Salam added that Adeleke, however, in spite of all the challenges, remains calm, quiet, joyful and hopeful in God as he works hard to serve the people and dances well to praise His God.
