Determined to try his luck once again in the service of his people in a higher position, Senator Ademola Adeleke who is aspiring to become the next Governor of Osun State has completed and submitted his Nomination and Expression of Interest Form at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Secretariat in Abuja.
Adeleke, who was edged out in a controversial manner by the incumbent Governor Gboyega Oyetola during the 2018 Governorship election in the state was at PDP Wadatta House, Abuja on Thursday to submit his form.
The aspirant has however expressed his confidence in the new PDP leadership, saying that he is optimistic that they will return the party to power in the coming elections nationwide.
Senator Adeleke also held a closed-door meeting with leaders of the party which included the National Deputy Chairman South, Ambassador Taofeeq Arapaja.
At the meeting, Adeleke said that his aspiration to contest the gubernatorial election again in 2022 is to conclude the struggle he began in 2018 and to ensure victory in the rescue mission agenda.
He revealed that his four-point agenda would prioritize industrialization and target export to make Osun state prosperous.
The social programme will focus on skill-based education, sustainable healthcare, job creation, agricultural scheme, skill acquisition for youths and engagement projects.
While expressing appreciation for the massive support he got from the people in 2018, he assured them that help is on the way.
“I am back to seek a fresh mandate in our collective struggle for good governance.
“To our party men and women, we seek their mandate to lead the party to victory next year. We are ready on all accounts to provide purposeful candidacy. With God and people, we will take over Osun state next year.”
