SUPREME COURT FINALLY STOPS SENATOR ADEMOLA ADELEKE'S DANCE TO THE OSUN STATE'S GOVERNMENT HOUSE. SO WHAT NEXT?

Senator Ademola Adeleke 



We are too sure that a new dance step that could have defied description would have been unveiled yesterday had the highest court of the land, that's the Supreme Court ruled in favour of and declared Senator Ademola Adeleke as the legitimate Governor of the State of Osun State.

But alas! Contrary to his fervent expectation and the expectations of his many supporters which includes his nephew, the dream has been quashed, the dance or the steps nipped in the bud and the wild celebrations that had been planned or that was in the offing may be to have been led by music star-Davido, that would have seen an unprecedented crowd from wherever dancing their hearts out as they follow their leader, who is ascribed as the "best dancing lawmaker" in the history of the Federal National Assembly as they match towards the State's Government house or the state assembly to go gleefully accept to become the Governor of Osun State has been cut short.

The highest Court of the land and in fact the final arbiter, the Supreme Court by a margin of 5 to 2 had thrown out his case & confirmed that His Excellency, Gboyega Oyetola, the family member of the former Lagos State Governor and Chieftain of the APC, in the person of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was the winner of that controversial election and therefore remains the legally elected Governor of the state of Osun.

With the declaration of the Supreme Court, it finally brings to an end all the litigation and court cases against the Governor and his Government/administration and therefore clears the way for him to now make true all his electoral promises. So with no court cases hanging on his head, there's now no more excuses not to work and deliver again.

So Governor, hit the ground running and dazzle us all.

PHOTO SPEAK-GOVERNOR ELECT OF OSUN VISITS ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU


Governors Akinwunmi Ambode, Rauf Aregbesola, Gov-elect Gboyega Oyetola, National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu & former Defence Minister, Musiliu Obanikoro

Aregbesola, Oyetola & Asiwaju 

In unity we stand. The 3 Musketeers

A disaster that would have been of monumental proportion for the APC was averted in the State of Osun on Thursday, September 27, 2018.

Senator Ademola Nurudeen Adeleke of the PDP already had one hand on victory at the ELECTION, before it was snatched at the death, by the most meagre number of votes ever to determine a Governorship Election in Osun State and most probably in NIGERIA. He felt he was already coasting home, what this just tells everyone is that, it is never over until it is fully over. Anything can still happen at the dying seconds that can change the course of history!!!

The relief to the APC party as a whole, to the outgoing Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, soon to become a Senator and to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been palpable. That relief was quite obvious for all to see when the day after the run off was done & concluded, the current Governor, the Ogbeni himself was seen in public, jubilating in relief and singing a Yoruba thanksgiving song, poignant with meaning which we would interpret below.

🎶O ye ka dupe, O ye ka Dupe, Araa son⚡⛈️, atagun fe🌬️, iji ja🌪️, ko gbe wa loo, O ye ka Dupe!!!! 

Which translates to "We should be thankful (grateful & full of gratitude), O we should be thankful,, ,  there was the loud rumblings of thunder and the lighting struck, the wind blew immensely, in fact the tempest (whirlwind) raged somewhat incontrollably, but in it, we weren't carted away, we are so full of gratitude and thankful!!!

The song above revealed perfectly well, how the camp must have felt and that the camp was shaken and they felt it, so what a relief to turn back the apple cart to the path it was on before again!!!

Senator Adeleke and the PDP are still raging as it were and they have a right to, as what they had thought was a sure victory, a done deal was snatched and smashed from their hands and mouth.

We are still expecting fireworks at the tribunal and courts though, in fact to the Supreme Court all the way. So even if "Gboyega Isiaka Oyetola" is sworn in like he would and should, his 1st 2 years would see him facing and dogged with litigations. A major distraction no doubt.

What the Osun election has already signposted for any smart enough to see it and understand it, is that, it is now quite obvious that the opposition seem to have woken up kind of from their slumber and are ready to fight it out! What is sure now is, if they pick the right candidates and are willing to go all the way like they did do with this Osun election, they would surely cause some major upsets here and there. What that now says is that, what used to be very assured is no more safe!

In the pictures above, outgoing Governor of the state of Osun-Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola is seen here presenting the Governor elect, Alhaji Gboyega Isiaka Oyetola to the National Leader of the ruling party the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Those who understands innuendos and body language would have understood what this action was all about. One thing we would have expected though would have been a picture or pictures, where all the people above would also have included the national chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, Governor elect of Ekiti, Dr. John Kayode Fayemi, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, Dr. Ganduje, in fact all those who made sure this victory was certain, all of them that went to see Senator Iyiola Omisore and convinced him, including the SDP chieftain himself. It would have shown gratitude and it would also have shown a united front!!!!

AND SO ADEMOLA ADELEKE MIGHT HAVE DANCED TO THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE!





From how things have panned out already it seem those wondrous steps of Senator Ademola Adeleke were not just for fun at all! The way it is now, there is the likelihood that he might have carried the day already! We are also too sure that the APC never expected that it would come to this at all, they would have anticipated a straight forward near landslide victory!!!

Just imagine that as we speak, Nigeria's happiest man alive-Senator Ademola Adeleke leads by just about 300 plus votes and who says that he wouldn't win more votes on Thursday, September 27, 2018 at the scheduled re-run election?

The way it is now is that Senator Ademola Adeleke and his party have already won a massive moral battle no matter the outcome of the election at the end of the day!!! Anything short of victory now might just signal a whole lot of hoopla and consequently a rejection of the whole election in its absolute entirety by the PDP & all, as they and their supporters would just shout blue murder to high heavens, even if there was no reason to do so!!!

So Rauf Aregbesola is most definitely on his way out in Osun State, as his tenure is winding up very quickly and his handpicked, preferred candidate Gboyega Isiaka Oyetola "might" have just  lost a gallant battle and might not be replacing him!!!! Fingers crossed

But alas though, all hope is not totally lost at all. With the Osogbo (not the entire Osogbo though) vote still expected on Thursday, Oyetola can still win the majority of the votes there and by that eviscerates that 300 plus lead that Adeleke has for now, but the issue is, Oyetola can never win all of the votes in that Osogbo place. The issue again also is that even if Oyetola now wins after all, which is still very possible, there is that moral issue that would forever bedevil such a win, which can be tagged medicine after death, some would even tag it rigging even if it's not so. And that's already very dicey!

Then again, there are those places in Ife, an undoubted enclave of Omisore and Femi Fani-Kayode, both of who are total enemies of the APC and both have already seen & tasted blood (idiomatically though) and so are willing to dig in viciously, going for the jugular. As it is already now, in the aftermath of the inconclusive election as stated or proclaimed by INEC, the opposition are already aligning, banding up together, forming an impressive coalition against a common enemy-the APC and her candidate-Gboyega Isiaka Oyetola.

Adeleke, Omisore and Adeoti, FFK, Saraki etc have aligned, with Omisore especially promising total support for Adeleke's cause. So all of their supporters are being mobilised to vote enmasse for Senator Ademola Adeleke to complete the job he has already begun over the weekend, so to speak.

So if what is planned actually works out in the long run, then the world should expect a mother of all parties, carnival in Africa afterwards in Osogbo and everywhere too, should Adeleke be fully declared the winner on Thursday. That humongous party would most definitely have champagne popping unabatedly, supported by full scale clinking of glasses all around. People like Alh. Atiku Abubakar, Dr. Abubakar Olubukola Saraki, Ayodele 'Peter the Rock' Fayose, Nyesom Wike and the likes would go about celebrating to the highest heaven, claiming in good part, their contributions to the unprecedented victory!!!!

That could actually signpost the most miserable time ever for the APC as a party! And it would have meant also that thunder has striken twice as initiated by same Ademola Adeleke against same Rauf Aregbesola and his anoited ones!!!!

Let's even move away from the election itself for a moment, to talk a bit about that one, the person that some are already seeing as the incoming Governor of Osun State, in the person of Senator Ademola Nurudeen Adeleke. The fun-loving man is the last born of his mother, Madam Esther Nnena Adeleke for the dad-Chief Raji Ayoola Adeleke who used to be a very prominent person, politician and labour activist in Ede, their homestead. While his father a former Senator under the UPN in the 2nd republic and high chief (Balogun of Ede 1976) was a Moslem, his mom a Christian, who actually owned her own Cherubim and Seraphim Church was Ibo.

So now you can understand majorly where the gift or Ademola's dancing and singing skills came from. The Cherubim and Seraphim sect are generally known for their love of music and dancing. So Senator Adeleke didn't just start today.

The late Serubawon, the former 1st executive Governor of Osun State and later a Senator, Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke was the 1st born, he is followed by the quiet billionaire businessman and father of Davido (David Adeleke) in the person of Mr. Adedeji Adeleke, who is/was the main sponsor behind his younger brother's gubernatorial ambition. It is said that one of the push for this election majorly was because, Deji Adeleke made a vow to himself that he would use his last kobo to dislodge from power those perceived to have had a hand in the untimely and unfortunate death of his lovable and fiercely supported late elder brother, Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke.

After Deji Adeleke is the 2nd daughter in the family by name Dupe. Dupe though is the only daughter from their own mom-Madam Esther Nnena Adeleke, but they have an overall elder sister from another mom. They are though a very closely knit family. Dupe from what we heard could have been the one that the baton had fallen to, to carry on their late brother's political legacy and goodwill that they as a family had garnered over the years, but being a woman and due to some other factors, it wasn't to be. And so the baton fell unto Ademola Adeleke, who is the last born. For those who might not have known at all, all through the lifetime of the late Senator Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke, especially his times in Politics, Senator Ademola Adeleke was always with him all through, so the goodwill the happy man got to win the senatorial election then was also because he wasn't just a novice, not a Johnny just come!

It is said that due to some major reasons, one of which is Adedeji Adeleke's religious leaning, he by himself would never personally participate in Politics for any reason, but that didn't or doesn't translate to that he couldn't support whomsoever he wishes to or wanted to support at any time.

So with a major reason as the motivating inspiration in the bag to motivate them, with enough money aavailable also to prosecute their ambition, with the massive support from not only Ede alone, but across the state too, it was now the time for debts to be called in, as it is said that Senator Isiaka Adeleke during his lifetime in his political sojourn had supported good candidates across board, not minding their political leanings, so long as they were good people he supported them morally, financially and otherwise. So all of these things might have been the major factors that have worked on his younger brother's behalf now. But one other major factor too though was that, everyone underestimated him!

Many had thought that the majority of the people wouldn't even take him serious, but alas now, they have found out rather too late and it might be too too late already. One other major factor that might have counted much also, might be the influence of Senator Ademola Adeleke's nephew, that is the renowned music ace Davido. In our estimate he actually might have swung a lot of the youth's vote the way of his uncle. Like we had said before, the over seriousness known in Osun might have been too much for the youths, so with a new option given, they might have though and said why not embrace something new!!!!

All in all, what this has just signposted majorly is that, you cannot neglect the people most of the time and then expect them to support you whenever you just need them! Even if Senator Ademola Adeleke might have carried the mien or semblance of someone not too serious, but that of a fun, happy go lucky fellow, just because he had appealed to the people, he got their votes and that might be carrying him to the seat of power already now! !!

So never underestimate your opponents at anytime and never ever overestimate your own value or ratings for any reason. Like it is said, pride goes before a fall. Can this 'falling' (for it is still in motion) actually be remedied or stopped????

Let's wait till September 27, 2018 to see what becomes! !!

SENATOR ADEMOLA ADELEKE STRIKES AGAIN & AGAIN AS HE WOOS ELECTORATES WITH HIS DANCING!





Can a man throw away the gift that nature has bestowed on him just to please the world? We don't think so! For to please the world and in it displease your self is tantamount to self delusion.

So since what Senator Ademola Adeleke knows best to do is dancing and since that his skill seems to be getting him the required attention and unbelievable followership then please, distinguished dancing robot or King, dance one!!!!!

Everywhere Senator Ademola Adeleke goes to he always yields to the cravings of the crowds. He strives so very hard to please them. Even if he cannot boast of any qualification whatsoever apart from the certificate of attendance from secondary school to the higher level, as long as he as shown to the people that their every wish is his command and that he would gladly give in to their every wish, then he should please dance on!!!

It is quite obvious for all to see that in Osun State, people have had enough of over seriousness and wants a more relaxed personage at the helm of affair. Someone who is a jolly good fellow and can entertain them at the drop of a hat, abi now, what does it take to govern now? It's not rocket science at all, when one can just be a figure head and hire the best of men and women from all over to do the needful. How can one want to throw away a pedigree honed from birth, where entertaining the family opened doors for you from when young even till now. Why go to school, when you could entertain and get every single thing you have ever wanted or dreamt about? It is only indolent folks, who cannot think beyond their noses that would say or think fun, does not pay.

Do we even understand the drive needed, the energy expended to entertain? It takes vast knowledge of the different styles of different times and era to grab the mind of the people. So whoever thinks our beloved Senator is not a smart man, done should have his or head examined!!!

One other thing that Osun State would have going for her for free for the next 4 years, should Adeleke win on Saturday, September 22, 2018 would be plenty of humongous concerts and entertainment more often as Senator Ademola Adeleke's sons-Shina Rambo and B-Red with their more illustrious cousin Davido, would most certainly always storm the state with their other friends to entertain the citizenry for FREE!! Is that one alone not a super enough evidence of gains of democracy or dividend of democracy!

We can bet that the 1st term in the office for the incredibly fleet-footed Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who can easily beat Johnny Kemp or even rival Chris Brown at a dance competition any day, anytime would be like a breeze, with everyone having undiluted and unpretentious fun all the way.

So please Osun people, forget everything else and make sure that your sanity is what pushes you to make your choice. It's a divide, a choice between overseriousness and plain fun and relaxation. Like Senator Ademola Adeleke has said in his campaign, it is a divide between light and darkness. So we beg of you all, please pick LIGHT!!!!!!

Please and pretty please vote with your head screwed right on Saturday.

HMMMMMM. DAVIDO CAMPAIGNS TO A MAMMOTH CROWD FOR UNCLE, SENATOR ADEMOLA ADELEKE





Like we already said before and we aren't going to nor are we planning to bore you by over reiterating it, but the truth basically is that,, to ignore Senator Ademola Adeleke of the PDP, would be to do so at your own peril.

If we can judge by the mammoth crowd that Davido, that is David Adeleke the world renowned musician/entertainer addressed on behalf of his uncle, for the Governorship election campaign is anything to go by, especially for an election that is just exactly a week to come in Osun State, then many are predicting a very tight election result, which could swing either left or right and could spring a major unbelievable surprise either way.

Pictures it has been said for eons, speaks a lot of volume. Maybe the pictures above at the rally with Davido, would better communicate what we are trying to say, without saying too much!!!!

Check them out!!!! 

OUR UNQUESTIONABLY GORGEOUS WEEKEND BOMBSHELL IS..... FOLASHADE ADELEKE


Folashade Adeleke






Even if her dad is an unrepentant entertainer, fun loving dude unparalleled, a feel good guy and probably the happiest Nigerian on earth presently, it doesn't take nothing, not one little thing away from the fact that the daughter 'Folashade Adeleke', is a supreme bombshell💣💥 by all standards, in all ramifications.

Blessed with a natural fair and lovely skin, it is very obvious that good money has helped to maintain the lushness. The young lady, with the bodacious body is a sight to behold as can be seen in her pictures. And because not only that she knows it and most probably have been commended many times over it, she has a couple of nick names that reminds one just how slammingly gorgeous, with a good overdose of elan added, so some call her the "fabulous one", others just refers to her as "Queen Fola", while she just loves for you all to come #slaylikefola.

One very obvious attribute that she has gotten from her show off daddy and that she happily portrays, is that like her dad who is an unrepentant showoff, by that we mean he loves to show off his dancing skills at the drop of a hat just as soon as he gets titillated by good music, he just enters his groove, so she also likes to show off too, but not necessarily her own dance skills as we know that, that might most probably run in the family, so she might just be a chip off the old block, what we believe she loves to always showcase is how super gorgeous she is, especially showing off her heavenly shape! Shade though apparently got her badass shape from her equally super gorgeous mom by name Christina who is just 54 years old (being born on March 5, 1964), but she looks far younger than someone in her 50s!! !

'Twas her birthday a few days back, 4 days ago to be more precise and it was like an avalanche of birthday wishes were poured on the young lady, some have even started addressing her already as the incoming "1st daughter" (she's Senator Ademola Adeleke's 1st child and 1st daughter), that's seemingly how confident her dad's supporters and well wishers are about Saturday, September 22, 2018 election in Osun State! While Shade is the 1st, she is then followed by Adeshina Adeleke aka Shina Rambo, then Bayo Adeleke aka B-Red and then finally Adenike, as the baby (last born) of the house.

Happy belated birthday gorgeous Shade, long may you Live!!!

BUT SERIOUSLY SERIOUS, WHAT IF THE DANCING SENATOR WINS? WOULD THE HEAVENS FALL???


Senator Ademola Adeleke 


The question above is massive and it needs a response and a concise one for that matter. And we think it is good and worth it if we ask the question all over again but this time around, putting the name of the distinguished dancing Senator there now. So we ask again--what if Senator Ademola Adeleke wins the upcoming Osun State Gubernatorial/Governorship election come September 22, 2018, a date that is fast approaching and would soon hit us!!!

Would the heavens fall????? Would Zeus leave Mount Olympus in disagreement? Would Thor in anger denounce his power and reject his hammer?

This upcoming election after that of Ekiti State, where the incumbent, Fayose's candidate and the PDP were beaten and with the outcome still somewhat marred by alleged misconducts, still yet to be examined for merits or dismerits by the courts; this Osun State upcoming election is one that is being keenly anticipated and watched by all and sundry.

The outgoing 2 terms Governor of the state, Ogbeni (Mr.) Rauf Aregbesola, a very close confidante of the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and top chieftain of the APC himself is very concerned about this election, as he would want at all cost for his lieutenant, better still his former Chief of Staff-Gboyega Oyetola, the person who has occupied the very exact, same position the now super minister, Honourable Minister for Power, Works & Housing, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola held prior to him becoming the successful Governor of Lagos State, where he went on to serve 2 exemplary terms.

So maybe, Gboyega Oyetola having served successfully as the Chief of Staff already, is seen to have learnt very well and having the requisite experience, both in Lagos and Osun State so to speak, so the next step for him is to become the Governor of Osun State, if he wins the upcoming election! But all of this easy permutations being conjured up by many, about him sliding on to victory so easily are only feasible in an ideal situation, where all things are supposedly equal!!! Are all things ideal or equal?

2 major contenders, in the persons of Senator Ademola Adeleke of PDP and Senator Iyiola Omisore of SDP, a former Deputy Governor of the state, both of who are seemingly well grounded too, are well arrayed against the easy emergence of Gboyega Oyetola of the APC as the next Governor of the beloved State of Osun.

But the candidate we are focusing on today is none other than, "Mr. Dancer extraordinaire himself", the world's best hot stepper in the person of Senator Ademola Adeleke, who seem to have more of the chance for an upset than all others. One of the reasons for that thought majorly, is because he once did what was thought impossible, when against all odds, he won an election against the candidate of the sitting Governor then to win the Senatorial seat he presently occupies.

Let us even quickly digress a bit, there's the very hilarious viral video of a twerking man, whose face though hidden but has a back that looked somewhat like that of our distinguished Senator (a striking resemblance at that). If it can be proven that the video was that of the Senator who was on the floor, shockingly and hilariously twerking madly away shaking his massive behind, then unfortunately, that person is not fit to be a Local Government Chairman, not to talk of him being a Governor. But alas, people have come out to say it was not the Senator!!!

So back to more serious matters, Is it possible for Adeleke to win the upcoming election in Osun State? Our answer to that is that, nothing is impossible again and to ignore him, just because he has been tagged as somewhat "unserious", "highly comedic", doesn't take away from the fact that he could win, especially if care is not taken!!!!

There is the growing alliance in and outside the APC, open and subtle against the national leader of the party in the person of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Jagaban of Borgu. Though, Gboyega Oyetola, whether he be or he is not a family member of Asiwaju, the fact is that he is eminently qualified in all ramifications, but even at that????? Just out of spite, the votes that normally should accrue to him on merit, has become somewhat divided!!! So the campaign slogan of the opposition now is, "to reduce Asiwaju's influence on all ramifications at all cost!

With the APC somewhat depleted due to unnecessary in-fighting, it has allowed an in-road someway for the likes of Adeleke and Omisore, to slide in and the truth is they are no neophytes neither are they pushovers. To ignore Adeleke and Omisore would be at anyone's peril!!!!

To show that the opposition would do anything to win against the ruling party in the state, you could see how the PDP has done all that's possible to close ranks after that initial disagreements. So they have now adopted a common enemy as against in-fighting, which was really messing up their chances before. So the catch phrase now is, even if it is quiet, "all out war against our common enemy", the APC & her candidate and the sponsors.

With a more united front, the battle can be fought well and better, with the very good possibility or chance to win. The way it is right now, the only place that is too too sure for the APC in the coming elections in the SouthWest is probably, Lagos!!! If in the other states, they don't pick the right candidates and the in-fighting continues unabatedly, then things might be very dicey for them.

PDP is very desperate as it were now to make a major point and the best place to start is none other than Osun State after their unbelievable loss in a Ekiti, just a few months to the Presidential election come 2019 and their chosen candidate for Osun in the upcoming election is Senator Ademola Adeleke. Would he win???? Hmmmmmmm!!!! We don't know, but let's wait and see. The money chest Senator Adeleke would be taking into this battle by all indications, would be staggering and unprecedented. Not only does he have his brother's (Deji Adeleke) unflinching support, that's Davido's dad who is a multimillionaire, many say billionaire, he has also boasted openly about having the might of Dangote and Otedola and others not named behind him!!!! Even his nephew, Davido himself is giving full and unflinching support and may be able to shift awesomely the support and votes of the youths, who just for the fun of it might just decide to vote for Adeleke.

If he does win, come September 22, 2018!!!! Then we can expect the most awesome dance steps ever imagined by any in the world!!! Are we game for that??? Can the jester perform an extraordinary masterstroke ??? If he does win, it could signal also an unprecedented build up towards 2019, while also triggering the likes of Senator Dino Melaye, Governor Ayo Fayose, Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki, Chief Olabode George, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and others to go into a frenzy of celebrations like never ever imagined before.

Let's just wait and see!!!!

THE HAPPIEST SENATOR IN NIGERIA-SENATOR DR ADEMOLA NURUDEEN ADELEKE DECLARES FOR GOVERNORSHIP IN OSUN



Senator Ademola Adeleke, Davido, Dr. Deji Adeleke & the late Senator Isiaka Adeleke 

The younger brother to the former Governor, the late Senator Isiaka Adeleke of the State of Osun has declared his intention to run for the Governorship election in the State, come September 22, 2018. The dancing doctor, who is the jolliest and happiest law maker in Nigeria made his intention known just yesterday. Just by declaring his intention to run alone, the man who would have given the late Michael Jackson and even Usher and Chris Brown a run for their money has caused jitters to the spine of the APC, which is the ruling party in the state.

Dismiss the jolly good fella at your own peril! He showed his mettle just about a year ago when he defeated very soundly the candidate of the Governor then, even with all the might of the ruling party against him to coast to a resounding victory. It was a show of the might of the people against the might of government and at that occasion, the government's might was exposed to be inconsequential and of no effect whatsoever.

Senator Demola Adeleke of the then APC, had stepped in to run for the senatorial position that had become vacant by virtue of the mysterious and untimely demise of his elder brother, Senator Isiaka Adeleke aka Serubawon (cause them to fear), a former Governor, who was a Senator then and a powerbroker in the politics of Ede and Osun state. When his intention and candidacy was rejected by vested interest, he was forced to look elsewhere to prosecute his ambition, so he joined the opposition party who had recognised his strength and embraced him with much aplomb and welcomed him very gladly and the result is what he is today, a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Now barely a year after engineering that embarrassing defeat of the incumbent government's machinery and now fully backed up by an opposition that seem to have now woken up from lethargy and slumber and are desperate for victory, especially hell bent on returning back to power, Senator (dr) Demola NURUDEEN Adeleke, the brother of Mr. Deji Adeleke, the billionaire dad of the award winning superstar Davido and father to Davido's cousin B Red, is ready to dazzle all comers again in his bid to become, the next executive Governor of Osun State come 2019.

The campaign towards the election, if he becomes the preferred candidate of the PDP would be fun galore. In fact, it would be epic on and at all levels. You must expect the best of music and dance and fun and if care is not taken, that could just sway the votes and carry him or cart him home to victory, that's why we had said at the very beginning, that to ignore him is at your own peril! Just imagine how his nephew, that's Davido and friends providing awesome music at the campaign grounds and Senator Adeleke entering to rousing welcomes with the display of badass dance steps and then with many of his colleagues and PDP Governors in attendance as a show of solidarity! And then there's the war chest that would be provided by Dr. Deji Adeleke who is worth in excess of $700 plus millions in the background. This would be one fun campaign by all standards and we are eagerly awaiting it to happen. That Senator Iyiola Omisore's has left the PDP alone, would have given Adeleke a major boost that he could clinch the party's ticket, to run and contest against the might of the APC & outgoing Governor Rauf Aregbesola.

In a letter to the PDP leadership declaring his intention, Senator Ademola Adeleke said the decision to contest the governorship election is borne out of a conviction that he has “all it takes to unite leaders and members of our party as well as galvanise the electorate towards ensuring a resounding victory for the PDP in the forthcoming poll.”

The letter reads: “In accordance with the directive of the leadership of our great party, I wish to respectfully express my intent to vie for the ticket of the party as its candidate in the Osun State governorship election holding on the 22nd September 2018.

“I am a member of the party in Sagba Abogunde Ward 2 of the Ede North local government in the Osun West senatorial district.

“As a loyal man from the strongest political base of the PDP in Osun State, I am willing, able and prepared to offer myself for this great service if given the opportunity to fly our flag as the governorship candidate.

“I pledge my continuous commitment and support to the stability, growth, and success of the PDP at all levels.”

MENTION ASIWAJU TINUBU'S NAME IN ONDO AND THEN GET BEATEN BLACK AND BLUE!!!




The mention or the defense of the name of the celebrated national leader of the APC, in the person of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Jagaban of Borgu in Ondo State from what occurred yesterday, Thursday, September 21, 2017 in Ondo state might have become a no go area, a name that grates the supporters of the Ondo State Governor in such a negative way, that it would bring on such who would do otherwise, opprobrium and by extension the beatings of their lives, at least Commissioner Bola Ilori, had to find that out in a hard way just yesterday.

The curious thing is that it is the same party, the APC that's in charge in the state and not even the opposition!

One would have thought that after the hard fought Ondo election that brought in Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu SAN, also known as "Aketi" to power, bygones would have become bygones and since it's one same political party, everyone would have come back together as one blood, one family forgetting the past and moving on, but alas that as not been the case. At least showing by the event of yesterday.

Bola Ilori as the Commissioner for Regional Integration in Osun State under the current administration of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, was at the Ondo State capital as a representative of Osun State for an event, the zonal meeting of the APC, which held at the International Event Center. As he made to answer some interviews the political thugs came hard on him, the result of which was embarrassment and disgrace.

According to him, thugs under the authority of a close ally of the Governor in the person of the SSG, let lose mayhem and chaos on the Commissioner, beating him blue-black and tearing his outfit and even underwear to shreds! In an action being interpreted as not just a way to totally disgrace the Commissioner, but also indirectly sending a veiled message to his bosses, in the persons of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola and ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU that their influence holds no water whatsoever in Ondo State.

Some people are already tagging the despicable and disgraceful action as the "voice of Jacob and the hand of Esau kind of thing. Bola Ilori and Bola Ahmed Tinubu and co were said to have worked very hard against the emergence of Akeredolu as the APC candidate months back, so now that against all odds Aketi emerged and even went on to win and become the Executive Governor of Ondo State, this is now pay back time.

So all traducers beware, Ondo State takes no prisoners!!!!

GREGARIOUS DEMOLA ADELEKE OF PDP SLAMDUNKS AREGBESOLA

New Senator Ademola Adeleke

Governor Rauf AREGBESOLA

Senator Iyiola Omisore
Maybe this result of yesterday's election between the PDP's own Senator elect Demola Adeleke, the younger brother of the late Serubawon and also brother to Davido's billionaire dad, Deji Adeleke versus APC's Mudashiru Hussain, would be a wake up call for the Osun State Governor, Rauf AREGBESOLA and his party that the people cannot be taken for granted, we do not know yet.

But the result of this election has shown somehow that no matter what, sentiment no matter how you want to discount it, can be a major factor in winning an election, and it also shows glaringly, that the late Isiaka Adeleke was not a pushover by any means at all in the politics of Osun State, most especially in the decision making in his domain Ede.

Much has been said about the influence the late Senator wielded when alive and how much he was loved by the (his) people, now even in death the power he was said to have possessed was showcased in this election which had his younger brother facing the might of an incumbent Governor and all the machinery at his disposal.  

Ademola Adeleke, representing the opposition PDP defeated, annihilated and totally obliterated the candidate of the Governor on all counts. At the only place where the APC candidate won, which was where he himself voted, he won by just 4 votes!!!

The whole scenario just says it all, that even in death the great Serubawon is a man to reckon with and that if you downplay his avowed influence, you do so at your own peril and loss.

An analysis of the whole scenario would have shown that Demola Adeleke was faced against the machinery of the state, especially a sitting Governor, but even at that, 2 of his own brothers, in the persons of the late Isiaka "Serubawon" Adeleke and billionaire businessman, Deji Adeleke gave him all the backings he needed to coast to victory unscathe, albeit one did it post humously. What this just says is that, the people no matter what cannot and must not be taken for granted by anyone, no matter their influence or status.

So INEC has declared Demola Adeleke the winner and new Senator, to take over the seat left vacant by the untimely death of his elder brother. As the PDP have now won this election, this might portend the direction of things in the upcoming Governorship election in the State come whenever.

So Senator Iyiola Omisore who is a powerhouse of a sort in Ife and environs a big part of Osun State, is lurking quietly in the background, planning, strategizing, aligning, mending fences etc, ready to pounce and take over on behalf of the PDP the running of the affairs of the state. If Ede and Ife would close ranks and then come together, with all other power houses in other areas, hmmmmmm!!!!!

There are some hell-bent on demystifying the relevance and influence of the Jagaban Borgu ASIWAJU Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC National Leader, who it is claimed, is actually from Osun State at all cost, it now seems like the project has begun!

Can the APC retain Osun State in the next election, if it were to hold next week?  As the influence of APC waned in the state that excitedly voted her into power just a few years ago?
