Osun 2022: Adeleke vs Adeleke By Adebayo Adedeji
I almost shed tears when I read the stinker written by one of the rottweillers unleashed by the dancing Senator Ademola Adeleke of PDP against his kid nephew, Dele Adeleke. The two Adelekes, who used to be buddies, are now at loggerheads because of their gubernatorial ambitions in Osun State. Both of them have obtained the PDP nomination forms to contest the 2022 gubernatorial election. However, in the piece penned by one Jimoh Adekunle, said to be a hatchet writer for the senior Adelekes, Dele was called unprintable names including a family betrayal doomed for eternal destruction. Dele’s much touted importance was deflated, rubbished with ungodly adjectives. Where he was not called a leech, a drunkard and womaniser, he was called a shameless and ungrateful gold-digger. Please find below snippets of the write-up. Damning. Damaging. Repugnant. I expect Dele Adeleke to put up a defence to state his position and clear his name. If not for anything, at least for the sake of his children and children’s children who are at the verge of being robed with a garb of family betrayals in future.

” Dele Adeleke contesting against Demola Adeleke doesn’t smell right and it is sheer betrayal and those prompting Dele do not want well for him and his children.”
” Dele Adeleke was sponsored through his education. Not just that: the only jobs he has ever done were those given to him by Dr Deji Adeleke.”
” He does not have the managerial experience to create wealth for himself not to talk of a debt ridden state like Osun.”
” Dele Adeleke and his wife collect monthly allowance at the instance of Dr Deji Adeleke.”
” Dele Adeleke’s father, popularly called “Brother Kunle,” lives in a house built at Akobo, Ibadan for him by the same Dr Deji Adeleke in addition to giving him a monthly allowance.”
” Dele Adeleke has no roof over his head anywhere. The house in which his family lives in VGC, Ajah, was bought for him by the same finger he now chose to bite.”
” Today is not the day to review the personality of Dele Adeleke and his troubles with women and alcohol.”
” It was Dele Adeleke that released the damning information about Demola’s academic deficiency when his plot to get Dangote to persuade Dr Deji Adeleke to field him instead of Ademola Adeleke in 2018 failed.”
” Everybody close to Dele Adeleke knows that he cannot fund an election. The N21 million he paid for the PDP Nomination form was not his money. He can’t afford such expenditure.”
” PDP goons supporting Dele Adeleke are a bunch of money mongers and jokers with no interest of the poor masses at heart.”
” There is no greater curse that can ever compare to the curse that comes upon a family betrayal.”
” It is obvious the leaders of Osun PDP are either being mischievous or they are reading the mood of the electorate wrongly.”
