Saraki Unhappy Adeleke Won On PDP Platform

Senate President Bukola Saraki says he is sad that newly sworn-in Senator Ademola Adeleke is coming in on the platform of the Peoples democratic Party, PDP.

Saraki, in a statement, made this known shortly after swearing in Adeleke as the senator representing Osun west, at the National Assembly on Wednesday.

Adeleke had, few days to the primaries, defected from the All Progressive Congress, APC, to join the PDP as the senator representing Osun west.

Saraki, who congratulated Senator Adeleke, said the outcome of the election should serve as an eye-opener to the APC that the will of the people should be always respected.

“I was filled with emotions today as I swore in the brother of Late Senator Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke as senator representing Osun south. I’m sure that my late friend, his family, good people of Ede and Osun West Senatorial District are delighted that the legacy of ‘Guv’ can continue. I am sure my departed colleague will, in his grave, be happy and filled with joy today and always,” the post read.

“My only sadness is that senator Ademola Adeleke is not coming in as an APC member. This is the result of mishandling of the pre-election matters by our party. I hope Senator Ademola Adeleke will very soon return to his natural fold, the APC, where he rightly belongs.
“I hope this development will serve as an eye opener to our party at all levels that the will of the people must always be respected. We all have a good lesson to learn from this.

“Once again, I congratulate Senator Ademola Adeleke and I hope he will live up to his brother’s expectations and further uplift the legacy established by their late father, senator Ayoola Adeleke.”
