We shall defeat Pharaohs against us, Adeleke assures PDP members

Vows to reopen LG secretariats, end power tussle
Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has said that his administration and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state would defeat the Pharaoh facing the state and get its dues back.

The governor had gone on vacation to the USA, during which he attended his nephew’s (Davido) wedding in Miami before returning to the State on Thursday.

The governor, who spoke, yesterday, at a reception held in his honour by members of the PDP at the party’s secretariat in Osogbo, after his return from vacation to the United States (U.S.) where he also attended his nephew’s (Davido) wedding in Miami, said he had transformed the state from a state of pity to that of confidence and prosperity and would not allow anyone to reverse the trend.

He also charged party members and residents of the state to participate en masse in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration in a bid to retain the party in government next year.

The governor also said that his administration would ensure that the council secretariats in the state are reopened and start operating.

Adeleke, who declared that he was being confronted by strong forces that he likened to the Biblical Pharaoh, said some people were still in shock over the achievements of his administration.

Also speaking, Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Adewale Egbedun, urged party members not to despair over the defection of some party members, saying that PDP’s greatest strength in the state is the masses, who have seen the transformational works of the Adeleke-led administration.

Earlier, the party Chairman, Sunday Bisi, reiterated the need for party members to mobilise people for the ongoing voter registration.
