“Instead of whining in bitterness or even creating mischief to protest the controversial desicion of the courts after the 2018 elections, Senator Adeleke stayed focused on personal self development and positive engagements as a true democrat and reminiscent of historical values of your dynasty.

“We love your courage and we appreciate your disposition as a man of peace. we are covinced that you are a man of divine purpose. Your unflinching effort at reinvigorating the party even while in far away United States of America depicts you as vessel of love, who will spare nothing to emancipate the good people of Osun State.

“We are proud of the attainment of the honours you attained and even more proud of the heart warming recommendations of the college authorities and your course mates. You have demonstrated beyond doubt that where there is a will, there will also be a way.

“With the additional feat to previous ones in the Social, Economic and Political spheres, you have assured us that you are better positioned to drive the process of growth in our dear State and Nigeria as a whole.

“Let me use this medium to warm those who feel they can subdue our party with force of violence to desist forthwith. Such vain effort cannot get at us as our courage is too fortified to be discouraged.

“Testing the will of our people through any form of violence of is an effort in futility but stretching it further will backfire. We will not warn you again.
