MY DEFEAT AT GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION IS TO EQUIP ME BETTER FOR NEXT DISPENSATION, SAYS ADELABU
‘However in this case, it’s both a blessing “in disguise” and a lesson to come out a better and stronger person. Electoral losses, as read in history, have made great leaders come out stronger, better and more successful and never to depress or discourage them’, he said.
The Governorship Candidate of the out-going government of the All Progressives Congress (APC) came out to speak, over a month after the election ,and apologized to the people of the State for remaining silent since he lost the election.
Penpushing further reports that, Adelabu, former Deputy Governor (Operations) of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in a statement he personally signed explained how he struggled to understand the defeat he and his party suffered in the election, stressing that the defeat will make him come out a better and stronger person.
‘I take solace in the persistence and tenacity of our 357,000 strong genuine voters (which is larger than what ushered in the last three successive governors) and kindness of history and posterity.The devil is in the details like they say’.
‘As a first timer, with 357,000 genuine votes, we remained the single strongest candidate in the 2019 Guber elections claimed to be displaced by the conspiracy or coalition of five other Guber candidates. This also gave out our party as the single strongest and most popular party in the last elections. All these should not go unnoticed and should prepare us better for challenges ahead’.
Penpushing also reports that,the banker turned politician expressed satisfaction that despite his defeat, he remained the single strongest candidate in the recently held 2019 Governorship election in Oyo State.
