During a recent Arise Townhall meeting, Accord Party governorship candidate Ademola Adeleke declared that he was a key proponent of state policing during his tenure in the Senate. He remains convinced that such a security model would be highly effective if adopted within Osun State.
Adeleke emphasized his commitment to the rule of law, promising that his administration would ensure security forces function strictly within legal boundaries. He asserted that no one, not even family, would be exempt from legal consequences should they violate the law. Regarding local development, he touted his record of fixing infrastructure, specifically citing the reconstruction of roads that had been neglected for nearly 45 years.
Addressing concerns about election integrity, Adeleke rejected allegations that he relies on vote-buying to secure power. He instead argued that his ongoing provision of welfare palliatives to citizens has earned him genuine public support. He criticized his political rivals for attempting to influence voters with small cash payments, accusing these same opponents of damaging the state’s economy. Adeleke concluded by expressing firm optimism about his chances of success in the upcoming gubernatorial race.
