Group Condemns Adeleke for Begging, Prostrating for Makinde

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke,has done the unthinkable by going on his knees to beg his Oyo State counterpart,Engr Seyi Makinde for forgiveness.

 This happened on Friday night at Oyo State Government House lodge in Abuja when Adeleke led a delegation to beg the Oyo State helmsman for forgiveness over his perceived subtle political antagonism against Makinde. 

 Besides,Adeleke was said to have gone to Makinde to solicit for support because candidate that would replace the late National Vice Chairman South West of the party, Hon Soji Adagunodo. Already, Adeleke is said to have three names close to his chest out of which one of them would be chosen.

 This however, is not sitting well with some indigenes of the state operating under the aegis of Osun Concretely led by Ajao Olawoyin, who feel by so doing, Adeleke has demeaned his position and at the same, belittled the people of Osun There has been no love lost between the two governors before and after gubernatorial elections in the two states due to the perceived ineptitude of Ademola Adeleke which is now proving to be true. This situation came on the heels on Friday night in Abuja when Adeleke in the company of some his commissioners and some party chieftains, begged Makinde to forgive him in whatever way he (Adeleke) must have wronged him.

 This is a result of Makinde's refusal to endorse a zonal PDP meeting slated for Osogbo on Monday, 7th of August at the Osun State Government House as put out by his Commissioner for Commerce Rev Bunmi Jenyo but has now been rescheduled for Wednesday, 9th of August as at the time of making this report. According to Olawoyin, it's insulting and degrading for Adeleke to be kowtowing to another governor just because he feels threatened by the personality of Makinde. "It's raunchy on the part of Ademola Adeleke to have gone to that debasing level,if truly he prostrated and begged Makinde profusely as being alleged. Though we don't have anything against Governor Makinde, we however feel such a disgraceful attitude is unbecoming of a governor, especially that of Osun peopled by great men and women" said Adewoyin The group further charged Governor Ademola Adeleke to live up to his office by being in charge of affairs of the state instead of governance by proxy. 

 Meanwhile, tongues have been wagging as to why the statement for the PDP meeting slated for Monday,was issued by the Commissioner for Commerce Rev Bunmi Jenyo. Already,this development is said to be generating some ruckus among Adeleke's cabinet members, especially with the Chief of Staff,Kazeem Akinleye, allegedly feeling slighted about some brewing untoward developments. 

 Worse still, stakeholders and the Zonal Exco of the party in South West, have threatened not to attend the meeting, contending that the powers of summoning such meeting is vested in them "As it stands, the meeting called by Ademola Adeleke appears jinxed as stakeholders are really upset by the manner everything is panning out within the party, especially as being orchestrated by Adeleke and his cohorts.
