On Sunday, Dr Deji Adeleke, the founder of Adeleke University, Ede, Osun State and an elder brother to the Osun State Governor-elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke, issued a strong warning to his younger brother that he would raise opposition against him if his government derailed.

He said this while speaking at the eighth convocation ceremony at the Adeleke University campus Ede. He also noted that Nigeria has the challenge of both bad leadership and followership, which are affecting the nation’s growth.

Adeleke, who frowned at the exchange of votes for monetary gain, said he told his brother and some Peoples Democratic Party governors that since the governor-elect would not be refunding money to any godfather after the election, he should assemble a good team that would work and improve the living conditions of the people.

He added that the followership that cannot hold the government accountable portended danger for the future. He noted that his brother would have lost the July 16 poll after 45 National Youth Service Corps members did not show up at their designated polling units.

He said, “I told the governor-elect (Senator Ademola Adeleke) and his colleagues. I said you are lucky because you don’t have any godfather to refund any money to, so whatever people contributed to your election is a sacrifice for a better Nigeria, for a better state.

“So, you and your colleagues are not under any pressure. The only thing you need to do out there is to go and serve the people. And I threatened them that I would be the first to call a press conference if I see things going wrong with his government.

“I will be the first to alert the world that your governor is derailing and I have told him and his team not to allow anyone that is not ready to serve; anyone that his focus is to come and look for money, to steal from the poor people, into the team.”

“Meanwhile, people were waiting to vote, but materials, result sheets and the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System machine were taken to somewhere else until a director started calling to make sure that those people reported to where they were supposed to; otherwise, my brother wouldn’t have been the governor-elect today.

“And those who allowed themselves to be used were the NYSC; young people. It’s not commissioners in the Independent National Electoral Commission. People blame INEC, forgetting that the young ones that have been entrusted with this responsibility are the ones wrecking their own future,” Adeleke concluded.

In his remarks, the Vice Chancellor, Adeleke University, Ede, Prof. Solomon Adebola, said 848 graduands compromising masters, postgraduate, undergraduate and 28 doctorate students, would be released by the institution during the convocation ceremony.
