Ademola Adeleke, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for governor, has pledged that if elected on July 16, he won’t let the Timi of Ede, Oba Munirudeen Lawal, or the locals down.
Adeleke said when he visited Oba Lawal at the palace yesterday, according to a statement by Comrade Samson Popoola, a spokesperson for the Adeleke Campaign Organization.
It reads: “The paramount ruler of Ede, Oba Munirudeen Lawal, directed residents and indigenes of Ede to vote for Senator Ademola Adeleke and ignore the 2026 false promise of governorship rotation to Osun West.
“The monarch urged heads of families and quarters in the town to mobilise and ensure they deliver Ede votes to one of their own, whom he described as capable and competent to govern the state.
“Senator Adeleke described the royal father as a faithful father of all Ede people, promising that he would not let the royal father down for the confidence reposed in him.”
