All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State of Osun has planned a grand reception for Senator Isiaka Adeleke, the first civilian governor of the state, who will officially join the APC tomorrow.
The event, which will take place at the Nelson Mandela Park in the state capital, Osogbo according to Barr. Kunle Oyatomi, Director of Publicity, Research & Strategy of APC will start by 10am.
Senator Adeleke who had been with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) decided to call it quits with his former party that has been hijacked by people whose disposition is reportedly inconsistent with civilized conduct and democratic norms.
Barr. Oyatomi said: “Only recently, the Senator who is respected as a gentleman politician was publicly assaulted and humiliated by PDP thugs who violently prevented him from participating in their party’s primary, from which Iyiola Omisore emerged as candidate of the PDP for the August 9th governorship election.
“Senator Adeleke’s departure from the PDP, he said, is a significant blow to that party’s electoral fortunes, and a big boost to APC’s prospects for a landslide victory.
“The APC therefore calls on its supporters, party leaders, Senators, House representatives, State legislators and members of the State Executives Council to be present at the Nelson Mandela Park to welcome the gentleman politician to the Party in style and with fanfare.” He said.
