The Southwest arm of the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has congratulated Senator Ademola Adeleke for winning the July 16th governorship election in Osun State.

 

Southwest CNPP in a statement by its Chairman, Alhaji Yinka Olona on Monday in Ibadan commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the successful conclusion of the exercise, despite few challenges encountered.

 

Olona equally praised the security agencies for their determination to ensure that the election was free, fair and credible.

 

It would be recalled that INEC declared Senator Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as the winner of the July 16 governorship election, early Sunday.

 

The former Senator defeated 14 other candidates to win the election. He polled a total of 403,371 votes.

 

Southwest CNPP under the leadership of Alhaji Yinka Olona urged Senator Ademola Adeleke to imbibe the spirit of magnanimity in victory by extending a hand of friendship to opposition parties and to build on the foundations already laid by his uncle, Senator Isiaka Adeleke towards improving the lives of the people of Osun State.

 

Parts of the release further read, “We, in CNPP assure Osun State citizens that the newly elected governor would not take this sacred trust for granted and would clean the rot bequeathed by past administrations and galvanise the resources of the state towards uplifting the state and taking it to the next level.”

 

“We pray that God give Senator Ademola Adeleke good health, better understanding, wisdom, vision and more courage to build on the foundation laid by his predecessors to take Osun State to an enviable height.”

 

“Finally, we congratulate the good people of Osun State for peacefully expressing their political preferences, thus further deepening democracy in our environment. It is our hope that the choice they freely and collectively made at the polls ultimately translates into a better life for them in the future.”

Insecurity: ACPP Berates Osun Governor, Condemned Attack on Journalist

 

INSECURITY: ACPP BERATES OSUN GOVERNOR, CONDEMNED ATTACK ON JOURNALIST

 

The Alliance of Collaborating Political Parties (ACPP) has berated Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, for being insensitive to numerous political and civil attacks in the state.

 

The Alliance also condemned the recent attack on a journalist attached to The Nation Newspapers, Mr. Toba Adedeji and two other Kindergarten School children by armed police officers from the Osun State Police Command.

 

ACPP described the recent attack in the state as devilish and provocative, adding that such dastardly act if allowed to continue unabated will cause political chaos in the state.

 

This was contained in a press statement released on Tuesday by a Chieftain of the Alliance, Wole Adedoyin.

 

According to Adedoyin, “It is true that Governor Gboyega Oyetola inherited some security challenges upon assuming office as governor, it is also true that the security woes of Osun state further degenerated under his watch as he incompetently failed to address the underlying security issues contrary to his campaign promises.”

 

ACPP further blamed Governor Gboyega Oyetola who is the Chief Security officer of the state for the state’s poor security architecture and negligent management of security intelligence.

 

ACPP finally said that the trigger-happy Police officers who committed the dastardly act should be brought to book.

Osun 2022: ACPP tasks INEC, Security Agents on neutrality

 

OSUN 2022: ACPP TASKS INEC, SECURITY AGENTS ON NEUTRALITY

 

Ahead of the scheduled 2022 Osun Governorship Poll, the Alliance of Collaborating Political Parties (ACPP) has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security operatives to be neutral in their operations.

A Chieftain of the Alliance, Wole Adedoyin made the appeal in Ilesa on Tuesday.

Adedoyin enjoined Osun State citizens, irrespective of their political, ethnic or religious affiliations, to pray for the success of the poll.

He further said that the cooperation of the security operatives was needed for peaceful election and transition in the state.

The Alliance also tasked them to ensure peace throughout the election period.

ACPP finally advised Security operatives to be neutral before, during and after election and prevent cases of ballot snatching by sponsored party thugs.

Osun 2022: ACPP Accuses IPAC of Being Bias Against PDP and Demola Adeleke

 

OSUN 2022: ACPP ACCUSES IPAC OF BEING BIAS AGAINST PDP AND DEMOLA ADELEKE

 

The Alliance of Collaborating Political Parties (ACPP) which consists of Osun based political groups and parties has alleged that the recent activities of the Osun state chapter of the Interparty Advisory Council (IPAC) under the leadership of one Mr. Wale Adebayo were against Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate in the forthcoming poll, Demola Adeleke which were designed to cause mayhem in IPAC and to scuttle democracy in the state. 

 

ACPP under the leadership of Wole Adedoyin made the allegation on Tuesday after the Council recently went to the press with two screaming headlines, “IPAC Lampoons Adeleke over alleged plans to influence outcome of governorship poll” and “IPAC tackles PDP over alleged plan to rig Osun Polls”

 

ACPP described as false the Council’s allegation that PDP and its governorship candidate, Demola Adeleke wants to influence the outcome of governorship polls and have no plan to rig any election.

 

ACPP further alleged that IPAC in Osun State under the leadership of Mr. Wale Adebayo flouted the IPAC Code of Conduct by coming out publicly condemning one party for another party who are both members of the same council saying there was no balance, justice or fairness and it was glaring. 

 

Parts of the release read: "The major function of IPAC is to work assiduously with INEC to strengthen the capacity of political parties through voter education, sensitisation of members and the general public, to completely minimise inconclusive elections and promote level playing ground for all political parties."

 

"IPAC is not INEC’s Spokesperson. Turning IPAC into a political tool against PDP and its candidate will only bring condemnation and destruction to the Council. The duo of Osun IPAC Chairman and Secretary should let the Stakeholders know if IPAC is now an appendage of the APC Government. PDP and APC are both staunch members of IPAC. The Chairman and Secretary of Osun IPAC should have published the releases under the platforms of their respective political parties. There is need for them to be reschooled on the aim and objectives of IPAC. Their actions are against IPAC’s Code of Conduct. IPAC is a neutral body. 

 

ACPP finally urged the good people of Osun State to disregard allegations by the Council against the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and it's candidate, Demola Adeleke, describing them as propaganda.
