Demola Adeleke Secures Osun PDP Guber Ticket As Omisore Steps Down

Emerging details have it that, all things being equal – the Osun state chapter of the People’s Democratic Party has picked its gubernatorial candidate for the Saturday, September 22 election.

Informants claim Senator Demola Adeleke is the preferred man.

The Senator who replaced his deceased brother – Isiaka Adeleke – as Osun West Senator in June 2017 became clear choice after powerful politician Iyiola Omisore stepped down “in principle” based on “negotiation”.

Societynow.ng in August 2017 reported Senator Adeleke’s interest in the Osun gubernatorial position.
