The Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, Ademola Adeleke has cleared the air on his dollar and pound comment ahead of the July 16th gubernatorial election in the state.
According to Adeleke, his comments on Dollars and Pounds were not intended for vote-buying.
Recall that Adeleke in a viral video during a campaign stated that he is coming with Dollars, Pounds and other foreign currencies.
The PDP Governorship candidate while speaking during the governorship debate organized by Channels TV, in partnership with Situation Room, promised to bring investment into the state if elected on the 16th of July, 2022.
Adeleke further stated that he would use his international connection to attract investors to the state.
He promised to reduce corruption to a minimum level so that people who are planning to invest would not be held back in their decision.
Adeleke said, “You know I’m an international guy. I have connections and whatever I said here you must go fact-check. We are running for governorship, but we must ask ourselves what have we done in our state.
What have you invested in your state before you can bring investors? I will make sure I reduce corruption to a minimum level so that people that are coming in to invest will be rest assured that they will not put their money in their pocket.
That’s what they are thinking. They know what is going on. They check every day. Which state are they coming to invest in, and which road is going to pass through? I’m talking to my people. They are ready to come and invest in Osun State. I will make sure that I fight corruption”.
