The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in Osun, Ademola Adeleke, has said his absence at Wednesday’s governorship debate was due to his busy campaign schedule.
TOS NEWS reported how four governorship candidates engaged one another in a televised debate organized by Arise Television Wednesday, speaking about their plans for the electorate if elected.
Governor Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Goke Omigbodu, Social Democratic Party (SDP); Akin Ogunbiyi (Accord); and Yusuf Lasun (Labour Party) participated in the debate.
Reacting in a statement on Thursday, Mr Adeleke said he was out in the villages and local governments campaigning while the debate was ongoing.
“On Wednesday, the candidate returned late to Ede from rural campaigns to towns and villages which insisted on hosting the gubernatorial flag bearer to directly listen to details of his five-point agenda,” read the statement issued by his media aide, Oluwole Rasheed.
“The candidate also used the local tour on Wednesday to meet opinion leaders and sectoral groups with special submissions on what they expect from a PDP government if elected into office.”
