The Osun state
chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked Ademola
Adeleke, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the last governorship
election in Osun, to face his “fraud case” and stop dragging the party into his
affair.
In a statement on
Wednesday, Kunle Oyatomi, APC director of publicity, research and strategy in
the state, said the PDP candidate was looking for excuses to justify his
inadequacies.
Adeleke had
accused the police of conniving with the APC to stop him from retrieving
his “stolen mandate”
Oyatomi said Adeleke is
too preoccupied with entertainment to understand how the tribunal and the
court processes work, hence the accusations.
“Senator Ademola Adeleke
should face his problem squarely and stop looking for props and excuses to
justify his inadequacies. APC did not ask him to commit the examination fraud,”
he said.
“That is a matter with
the police. And we are not police prosecutors. If he has been taken to court by
the police, how is that the business with the APC?
“He was the one who went
to the tribunal and he has a responsibility to diligently prosecute his case at
the tribunal. We cannot stop the tribunal from working, not even Ademola
himself can stop the tribunal.
“So, it is immature,
pedestrian and patently wrong for Ademola to accuse the APC and police of
conspiring to deprive him of the ability to prosecute his own case. Perhaps the
PDP candidate is too much engrossed in entertainment to find the time to
understand how the tribunal and the court processes work. He should try and
update himself, so as to know what to do, rather than embarrassing himself and
his party.”
