Engr. Busuyi Ayowole, a former candidate for governor of Osun in the 2022 governorship election from the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), has warned President Bola Tinubu to be wary of the Adeleke family.
A day before the Osun 2022 governorship election, Ayowole also disclosed that he is thinking of pursuing legal action in response to the purportedly false news against his candidacy.
Ayowole revealed that the Adeleke family is sending their son Davido to communicate with President Tinubu in a statement that ZINGTIE was able to receive on Thursday.
He said, “I want to warn you about the Adeleke’s. They’ve been sending their son, Davido, to meet you in different places in Abuja and probably in Lagos. They’ve made several attempts to make sure they are able to reach you and have a close-range conversation with you.
“I would like to advise you, President Tinubu, be careful around the Adeleke’s because they’re smarter than you.”
Because they have deceived all of their old allies, he further warned that the family is skilled at betrayal and that their goal is to outsmart Tinubu, seize control of Lagos State, and install their own loyalists as governor.
“So, Dr. Deji is richer than you. He knows more politics than you, and he’s better than you in the art of betrayal. I mean, there are allegations that you betrayed some of the people who helped you on your way to the top. I see them as allegations. I don’t have time to look deeper into whether they are true or not. But the Adeleke’s — if it’s true that you’ve betrayed some of your old-time friends — then I can categorically tell you the Adeleke’s are smarter and better than you in the art of betrayal.
“Everybody they’ve met on their way to the top, they’ve betrayed — starting recently from Omisore and Adagunodo, you can continue to count them — all the people who have been at the forefront, fighting for them to take over power in Osun State — they’ve put everybody aside because they want to create an empire. They believe they own Osun State.”
Ayowole also asked Tinubu to address Nigerians’ grievances, saying that the country’s hardship is making space for resentment and hunger.
“Nigerians are complaining. I will advise you, Mr. President, you need to do more. Nigerians are angry. Nigerians are hungry. A hungry man is an angry man. Nigerians are hungry and angry. Things need to be done differently and in a better way. You’re trying, but we want to see the results of your efforts in the daily life of ordinary Nigerians. It’s not about trying. It’s about achieving results; I won’t say the results are being achieved at the moment. Mr. President, you need to do better,” he said.
Additionally, he stressed that permitting Governor Ademola Adeleke to join the Osun State All Progressives Congress (APC) would make the state a one-party state.
He said, “If the Adelekes are allowed to come into the APC, that means Osun State will become a one-party state—but we won’t allow that to happen.”
The statement follows the release of images on Tuesday night showing musician Davido, his older brother Dr. Deji Adeleke, and Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke meeting President Bola Tinubu at his residence in Lagos.
Since then, the image has raised worries because the Osun APC and former Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Timothy Owoeye, have said that Adeleke is not welcome and that the Adeleke family will not be able to purchase the party’s 2026 governorship ticket.
Olawale Rasheed, the spokesperson for Governor Adeleke in the Osun APC, responded in a counterstatement that the governor is content with the PDP and has no intentions of switching to another party.
