Osun 2018: Group Tackles Senator Ademola Adekeke Over Campaign Slogan

Imole Osun Group, a socio-political organisation in Osun State has called out the Senator representing Osun West Senatorial District,  Senator Ademola Adekeke,  over it’s campaign slogan “Imole Osun”.

Adeleke, who recently joined the league of aspirants for the September 22 gubernatorial election in the state on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) made his intention known to the party early this week,  with “Imole Osun” as slogan. 

However, the Director General of the group,  Mr Akin Aderibigbe has accused Adeleke of using the name of the organisation which has been in existence for over three years as slogan. 

Aderibigbe maintained that the  action of the Senator is uncalled for and practically unbecoming of a lawmaker who is aspiring to govern the state. 

According to him, any politician that worth his salt must be creative enough to come up with a slogan that is in tandem with his political philosophy and socio-economic idea as blue print for governance. 

He carpeted Adeleleke for being “not creative and lazy” to think of distinct mechanism to sell his idea to the electorate by “snatching ” already established name of an organisation as his slogan. 

“We were taken aback by Senator Ademola Adekeke’s display of emptiness,  we didn’t expect him to have descended so low to the level of snatching the name of our organisation as his campaign slogan. 

“We were disappointed by his action,  and doubt his strength and intellectual ability to govern the state if he could display this level of intellectual laziness by snatching a name of an organisation instead of thinking of distinct slogan that reflects his political philosophy,  if he has any. 

“Our organisation,  Imole Osun Group has been in existence even before the unfortunate circumstance that made him a senator,  so,  we wonder why he is calling himself Imole Osun now. 

“We are convinced that one of the qualities a leader must display to get people’s trust and confidence is creativity,  Senator Adekeke has not displayed any act of creativity on this, he needs to go back to his drawing board and come up with a slogan that is in line with his political idea and ideology”, Aderibigbe said.
