Party candidate, Chief Ademola Adeleke, as a comedian, whom he said would not make a good senator.
Speaking on
Sunday, Hussain said Adeleke was a good dancer but a political neophyte, who
did not have the needed political experience to perform legislative duties.
He also
described as inconsequential the coming together of the hitherto warring
factions of the PDP, saying their alliance could not stop him from winning the
election because Osun-West voters were in his support.
He said,
“They were thrown out of power while they were together and apparently solid.
So, is it now that they came together based on their deception and pathological
hatred for (Governor Rauf) Aregbesola that they can win election?
“I
sympathise with them because those who are pushing them benefitted largely from
Aregbesola’s benevolence and industry, and the only way to repay him is to work
for his fall. Unfortunately, Aregbesola has not lost his political steam with
the people on the street, except for a very few elites who wanted to share
Osun’s collective resources but were denied.
“The puppet
and the puppeteers on the other side knew it was a failed mission, but there is
no crime in trying. I encourage them to continue with their razzmatazz; our
people will decide who they prefer on July 8 between a progressive candidate
and a reactionary.
“Do you know
who is shivering? It is the candidate that is so desperate and hopping from one
party to another and even went to bed with those who beat his brother to a pulp
and kicked him out of their party. The person who chickened out of a primary
and shopped for an uncontested ticket is the one that is shivering. The one
that has already conceded defeat by alleging, without proof, that the election
will be rigged against him is, indeed, badly shaken.”
However, the
Secretary, Adeleke Support Group, Lukman Afolabi, when contacted by our correspondent
said Hussain resorted to blackmail because he did not have anything good to
tell the people.
He said,
“There is nothing wrong with Otunba Ademola Adeleke dancing whenever he is
happy. He is a shrewd businessman and a competent politician, who cannot be
rubbished by Hussain, who did nothing while representing the senatorial
district at the Senate.
“Ogbeni
Aregbesola also dances at campaigns, at public functions and he sings Fuji
music. So, is Hussain also abusing his leader, the governor?
“They are
looking for anything to use against Adeleke because they know they are a
failure and that the people have turned their backs against their party. I am
the immediate past secretary of the Ede-South Local Government Council, I
worked under Aregbesola and I know that the people of the state have turned
their backs against the APC and its candidate.”
