Adesiyan’s nomination’ll ensure PDP’s guber victory –Chieftain

Some chieftains of the Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have commended President Goodluck Jonathan for nominating the former Commissioner for Education in the state, Jelili Oyewale Adesiyan, for ministerial position.
They expressed the view that the nomination of Adesiyan for the ministerial position will lead the PDP to victory in the forthcoming governorship election scheduled to hold in the state later this year.
Speaking with newsmen in Lagos on Thursday, Chairman, National Population Commission (NPC) in the state, Akogun Lere Oyewunmi, described the choice as a welcome development and a boost for the party, especially as the gubernatorial election is fast approaching.
Describing the choice as a round peg in a round hole, Oyewunmi added that Adesiyan’s nomination would strengthen the PDP in the state as he expressed hope that the ministerial nominee would serve the country diligently to enable the party to have a landslide victory during the gubernatorial election slated to hold in the state later this year.
According to him, “I want to commend President Goodluck Jonathan for nominating Adesiyan as one of the ministerial nominees whose names were sent to the National Assembly for screening last week. I want to equally say without mincing words that Mr. President has chosen a right man for the job because Adesiyan’s achievements as commissioner in the state still remain unbeatable and the facts are still there for anybody to cross check.
“Besides, Adesiyan is a grassroots politician whose political tentacles spread across the state and he is a party loyalist who believes that the achievements recorded by the party at the federal level can be replicated in the state. I want to assure that his nomination will bring together all the aggrieved members in the state and bring victory to the party in the next governorship election,” Oyewunmi said.
