8 political parties adopt PDP’s Adeleke for Osun West by-election

The opposition political parties under the aegis of the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) directed their members and supporters to vote for Adeleke in the July 8 bye-election.
At a jointly organized press conference held in Ede yesterday, the leadership of the opposition parties in the state told journalists that they have unanimously agreed to support Adeleke to ensure his victory in the election.
CNPP chairman in the state, Popoola Olatunji, who is also the state chairman of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), said all the opposition parties would work for Adeleke to defeat the candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Mudasiru Hussain.
Other political parties that adopted Adeleke include Action Alliance (AA), Social Democratic Party (SDP), Green Party of Nigeria (GPN), Alliance for Democracy (AD), Democratic People’s Party (DPP), Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN), People’s Party of Nigeria (PPN) and People’s Democratic Movement (PDM).
The opposition parties also alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was planning to postpone the date of the by-election.
They said postponement of the by-election would amount to unnecessary tension among the political parties and cause confusion among the people of the state.
Reacting to the development, the spokesperson of APC in Osun State, Mr Kunle Oyatomi, said the CNPP in Osun has turned itself to an extension of PDP and that the opposition political parties have compromised.
