OSUN Politics: PDP alleges fresh plot to smear Adeleke

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged fresh plots by some leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to smear the reputation of its candidate in the Osun State governorship election, Senator Ademola Adeleke.

Adeleke has been having a running legal battle with the APC over alleged falsification of his Secondary School Leaving Certificate.

In a statement yesterday by the spokesman for the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, the main opposition party accused some unnamed APC leaders of knitting ludicrous allegation that Adeleke’s Secondary School Testimonial was forged.

According to Ologbondiyan, the PDP already has information on how the APC used a former commissioner in the state to reach out to certain top security officers to use the fabrications to arrest and embarrass Adeleke and the Principal of his school, Ede Muslim High School, Ede, Mr. Kadili Adejare Abass.



The PDP said it has also been fully informed of how huge sums of money has allegedly been forwarded as bribe to the compromised security agents to arraign and humiliate Adeleke and Mr. Adejare Abass on fabricated charges, even when they know they cannot prove any case.

The party further claimed to be in possession of intelligence of attempts by agents of the APC to hack into Adeleke’s former school files, with the view to mutilating relevant academic documents, just to get at the lawmaker, not minding the harm such would cause other students of the school,” the party said.

The PDP counselled the APC to accept its defeat in the Osun Governorship Election and desist from acts of mischief against Senator Adeleke, saying that such attempts will come to naught.

The party also charged Nigerians, particularly the people of Osun, to continue to be at the alert in resisting what it described as the “noxious schemes” of the APC against their will as a people.
