EKO HOT BLOG reports that the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyorchia Ayu, has hailed the people of Osun State for returning the party to power and freeing themselves from a government of excuses.

Dr Ayu said this in a statement on Sunday in which he also commended his party’s candidate and winner of the state’s governorship election, Senator Ademola Adeleke.

Adeleke had secured 403, 371 votes in the poll to defeat incumbent governor, Gboyega Oyetola, who secured 375, 027 votes.

The PDP leader who said the victory was symbolic for two reasons shared the reasons behind that.

He said, “Twelve years ago, specifically on 26th November 2010, the PDP lost Osun State – not through the ballot-box – but via a judicial coup (ruling).

“That coup (ruling) terminated the action-packed tenure of HE Olagunsoye Oyinlola. And since then, Osun has been frozen in executive misrule and underdevelopment.

“Four years ago, the PDP won the governorship, but our Candidate, Sen. Adeleke, was robbed of victory in broad daylight. We went back to the drawing board, and today, we have reclaimed our victory.

“Today is, therefore, not just a day of double restoration – it’s a day of redemption too. It restores PDP to power and redeems the Osun people from the scourge of mediocrity, empty promises, and excuses.”
