  • The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State accused Governor Ademola Adeleke of desperation and facing defeat.
  • APC stated Adeleke's criticism of President Bola Tinubu reflects his political predicament.
  • The party warned Adeleke against further attacks, suggesting they stem from his perceived imminent loss in future elections.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has sharply criticized Governor Ademola Adeleke, labeling his recent remarks against President Bola Tinubu as the actions of a "desperate man facing defeat." The party asserts that Adeleke's attacks are a clear indicator of his precarious political position and his anticipation of losing upcoming elections.

The APC's statement suggests that Governor Adeleke's criticisms are not rooted in genuine policy disagreements but rather in a strategic attempt to deflect attention from his own perceived shortcomings and impending electoral challenges. The party views his public commentary on the president as a sign of political anxiety and a desperate bid to rally support or create a narrative of opposition.

By framing Adeleke's actions as those of a man on the verge of losing, the APC aims to undermine his credibility and political standing within the state. The party's message serves as a warning, implying that such tactics will not succeed and that Adeleke should refrain from further antagonizing the president, as it only highlights his own vulnerability.

Your attack on Tinubu shows you’re a desperate man facing defeat.
