Senator Adeleke‘s campaign DG has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for nulling the Police order that is requesting for the gubernatorial’s appearance over alleged Exam malpractice and criminal conspiracy just few days to the governorship election.
However, President Buhari ordered that Adeleke should not be invited until after Saturday’s election.
Oyewunmi said such action, if allowed to fester was capable of heating up the polity unnecessarily, adding that the directive of the president has doused tension.
He alleged the was APC being jittery over an impeding defeat in the September 22 governorship election in Osun State, hence the antics of intimidation and victimisation.
“We are taken aback by the eleventh hour invitation by the police to our candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke on very flimsy and unfounded issue.
“It is obviously clear that the ruling APC is so desperate to intimidate and harass our flag bearer because of the fear of loosing election.

“I want to say categorically clear that we can not be intimidated in any way, we are undaunted and focused, no amount of intimidation and victimisation could deter us from winning the Saturday poll.
“We commend President Muhammadu Buhari for the timely intervention to douse the tensed political atmosphere; that directive has really prevented unnecessary political tension.”

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday stopped the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, from inviting the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the governorship election slated for Saturday in Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke.
A presidential source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not permitted to speak on the matter, told some State House correspondents that the President had directed that Adeleke should not be invited until after Saturday’s election.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Moshood, had in a statement told Adeleke and four others to report to the Special Investigation Panel, Force Headquarters, Abuja, immediately for arraignment in court.
