Ademola Adeleke, governorship
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun state, says he will win
the upcoming election and dance to the government house.
He said this at an interactive
session organised by the Oduduwa youth development initiative in Osogbo, the
state capital, on Wednesday.
Adeleke said the APC-led
government had inflicted hardship on the state, adding that he is confident of
winning because of the support he enjoys.
Asked why he is referred to as
‘dancing senator’, he replied: “I have been tagged dancing senator, but this
shouldn’t be used against me because everybody dances. Have you seen someone
who doesn’t dance? I am winning this election and I will dance to the
government house after that.
“When I was in the university overseas,
I used to go for dancing competitions. Although, I am a Nigerian, I still won
dancing competitions which is the reason why I was nicknamed ‘Jackson’, but my real name is Ademola Nurudeen
Adeleke.”
He criticised the education
policy of Rauf Aregbesola, outgoing governor of Osun, saying unpaid salaries
and school merger were some of the reasons for the poor performance of pupils.
“Anybody who fails to pay his or
her labourer is wicked and I can boldly say that the APC government is wicked
for not paying its workers and pensioners in the state,” he said.
“The menace of non-payment of
salary is responsible for the 29th position of this state in the ranking of
WAEC; but when I get to power, I will turn it around by ensuring that the
welfare of every worker in the state is catered for.
“The insensitivity of the All
Progressives Congress government is responsible for the state where LAUTECH is
today and it is evidently clear to the masses that the PDP government takes
education as a priority.”
