Osun poll: Adeleke cries out, says I’m being persecuted

The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the  September 2018 Osun State governorship poll, Senator Ademola Adeleke, on Friday said the dismissal of a case of certificate forgery involving him  had confirmed that  he was being persecuted by his  opponents.

Adeleke recalled how he was detained  following an allegation  he forged the  West African School Certificate   he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission  ahead of the governorship election eventually won by Gboyega Oyetola  of the All Progressives Congress.

He alleged that he was a victim of blackmail  by people  afraid of his popularity in the state. Punch
