Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has been told to resign over his alleged inability to recite the new national anthem.
The call was made by the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday.
A video had gone viral which showed the governor struggling to recite the new national anthem shortly after President Bola Tinubu signed it into law on May 29, 2024.
Calling for Adeleke’s resignation, Osun APC chairman, Tajudeen Lawal said:
“The displayed inability of Governor Adeleke to either recite or read the now adopted old National Anthem is a serious issue which should be of concern to the right-thinking indigenes of Osun State wherever they may be residing across the world.
“As a political party, we view the development of the inability of Governor Adeleke to recite the National Anthem as an embarrassment to all the stakeholders in the project called Osun State because of its debilitating image among the comity of the states making up the Federation of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“What we have been contending with since the eighteen months inglorious administration of Governor Adeleke is that bizarre things of where the tail has been wagging the dog has been the unusual order of the day in the state.
“Governor Adeleke is aways in his best when he is needlessly displaying the talent of dancing and singing but remains semi-dumb whenever there is need for him to speak on or to vital issues that could be of interest to his government or the citizenry.
“We make bold to state that the Osun State of today under the constitutional leadership of Governor Adeleke remains the state where holding of weekly executive meetings are not only an aberration but held in topmost secrecy for obvious reasons of safeguarding the lapses of the governor to face the crowd and address them.
“It was also for this reason that the shabbily planned and executed second Ipade Imole held in the seventeenth month in the life of Adeleke’s administration in Ilesa recently ended up uneventfully by entertaining complimentary praises from five packaged entities, leaving out genuine members of the public who had obtained tallies to enable them probe the governor.
“It is for these reasons and many more that we, as a party, are demanding the immediate resignation of Governor Ademola Adeleke for his incapability and incapacity in the office.”
