“Oyetola is yet to congratulate me” – Adeleke

Osun State’s current governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, claims that the state’s former governor, Gboyega Oyetola, failed to congratulate him on his victory at the Appeal Court.

Adeleke, who expressed a willingness to collaborate with the former governor, claimed not to have heard from Oyetola.

The governor made this statement on Monday’s episode of the Arise TV Morning Show.

“I contacted the former Governor Oyetola as soon as I heard about the Appeal Court (judgment) to ask him to help us move Osun forward. However, as of right now, he has not called to congratulate me, and I’m still hopeful that he will since we don’t have any other states here besides Osun State. So let’s work together to advance Osun State; I’m ready; my hands are open,” Adeleke stated.

Adeleke reversed his position on contacting Oyetola when asked what he would like to say to the former governor and said he never called him.

“Well let me correct it, I did not say I put a call to him, what I said is I’m still expecting him to call me so that he can congratulate me, and if he wants to do otherwise and go ahead to the Supreme Court, he has the right to do that,” the governor said.

He stated his desire to collaborate with Oyetola once more.

The governor added that he had God and his people on his side and that he was not scared of the Supreme Court.
