I have no plan to contest in Osun governorship race -Dr Deji Adeleke

-

The Ede-born business mogul and philanthropist, Dr Deji Adeleke has debunked the rumour that he would contest in the next year governorship election in the State on the platform of All Progressive Congress.


The father of the popular Nigeria's music star, David Adeleke who is famously known as Davido in a press statement made available to journalists by Mr Dele Adeleke on Monday said the insinuation that he (Dr Deji Adeleke) wanted to contest for the gubernatorial poll on the platform of APC was false, unfounded and ludicrous.

According to the statement, "our attention has been drawn to a rumour in a section of the media that Dr Deji Adeleke is being pressured to contest for the governorship seat in Osun State on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC)."

"Dr Deji Adeleke is not interested in seeking any political office nor involved in any talks/plot to make him the governorship candidate of APC or any other political party.

“Dr Adeleke is not a politician and has chosen to continue to render his contributions and service to humanity in his private capacity and through his foundation."

"We hereby appeal to the good people of Osun state and all Nigerians to disregard the mischievous publication in its entirety."
