Dr Akin Ogunbiyi, former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State is very angry with Senator Ademola Adeleke, the party governorship candidate.

Aggrieved Ogunbiyi venting his anger spoke through his media aide, Mr Ismail Afolabi, he said, “To resolve the crisis arising from the PDP primary, the leadership of the party resolved that Ogunbiyi’s camp should produce a candidate who would deputise Adeleke; they conceded Osun West Senatorial ticket of the party to Ogunbiyi himself and also rationalised other issues for peace to reign.”

“But the agreement did not see the light of the day. It was breached. Adeleke and his campaign organisation led by Dr Lere Oyewumi picked Hon. Albert Adeogun, an indigene of Ife as the deputy governorship candidate and frustrated the move by the party to substitute Adeogun’s name in line with the said accord. Ogunbiyi and his camp were sidelined thereafter.”

“Backed by Adeleke, Lere Oyewumi went all out for the Osun West Senatorial ticket, breached the signed agreement between him and Ogunbiyi while the leadership of the party looked away.”

“Lere contested against himself and yet rolled out results showing that Ogunbiyi participated in the charade he organised in Osogbo, instead of Iwo, the appropriate venue of the exercise. Osun people at the convention were shocked and emotional to see the so-called result of the unfair and highly incredible exercise. It is evident that Osun PDP is sitting on gun powder. We hope that the national leadership of the party will address Lere’s impunity.”
