APC National Secretary Visits Adeleke

The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Surajudeen Basir on Sunday paid a courtesy visit to Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke at Osun State Government House, Osogbo

Senator Ajibola while fielding questions from newsmen said the visit was to appreciate the governor for attending the final rites of his late mother and visiting him during his period of bereavement earlier this year.

Bashiru admitted that he had delayed the reciprocal visit until after the recent governorship election because of politics, given that he was actively campaigning against Adeleke.

His words: “You are the chief executive officer, and you still find time. And not only that you came to my personal house to extend your condolences to me, you also frontally attended. I cannot, because of politics, gloss over that act of charity.

“I don’t want people to misinterpret my gesture, and ordinarily I ought to have visited you during that period. Ah, we are doing election, oh, we are in the field. I was campaigning vigorously against you, sir. I campaigned vigorously against you at that election. Fortunately, God gives power.”

APC National Secretary thanked Adeleke for endorsing President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election.

He said he “read both news media and social media, some people expected you (Adeleke) that having won the election, would renege on earlier promise to endorse Tinubu,” but the governor had “stood firm.”

Governor Adeleke in his remarks promised to mobilize Osun residents to vote massively for Tinubu during the Presidential election.
