Adeleke: ‘I’m a bulldozer, I’m not afraid of FG, governors backing APC’

OSOGBO — Osun State governorship candidate of the Accord Party, Ademola Adeleke, has declared that neither the Federal Government nor governors backing the APC candidate can intimidate him ahead of the state’s governorship election.

Speaking on Tuesday at the Arise Townhall Meeting, Adeleke portrayed himself as a determined politician who would not be overwhelmed by the influence of the Federal Government or the governors supporting his opponent.

“I am a bulldozer. I am talk and do. I am not afraid of federal might and governors backing the APC candidate. If they like, they should bring all the governors,” Adeleke said.

The governor said he had a cordial relationship with the governors in question, insisting that their involvement in the election would not translate into votes for his opponent.

“Those governors are my friends. I am a civilised administrator. They won’t vote; they can only come and dance, and after the election, we will meet,” he said.

Adeleke also pushed back against claims that his administration was responsible for militarising Osun State. He said he lacked the powers to deploy the armed forces.

“I did not militarise Osun. I have no such capacity. I am not the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces,” he said.

The statement comes amid increased political activity in Osun ahead of the governorship election, as the leading parties intensify their campaigns and grassroots mobilisation across the state.
