The Chairman, Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (OYOSUBEB), Dr Nureni Aderemi Adeniran has formally notified the public that he has stepped down in the 2023 Oyo South Senatorial District election, adding that he has conceded the party ticket to Olasunkami Tegbe.
He stated that his political structure has been collapsed to support the Oyo South Senatorial District candidate of the People’s Democratic Tegbe, ahead of the elections.
In an event held at his residence, Adeniran, who hosted party stalwarts, including 27 coordinators from the nine local governments, 99 ward coordinators within Oyo South Senatorial District and other supporters working for his senatorial ambition, said the decision was taken in the common interest of the Party and the state.
Handing over his political structure to Tegbe, Adeniran noted that his coordinators from all the nine LGs and 99 wards within the Oyo South Senatorial district would, henceforth, adopt Tegbe.
He added that this was to further spread the gospel of politics without bitterness, hinting that this step was a clear indication that the PDP would record victory in the coming elections.
His words, “We have invited you today, to intimate you of the outcome of a series of meetings of all my local government and ward coordinators. We have resolved to back Mogaji Olasunkanmi Tegbe for the polls. For my political team and I, we are committed to the continuation of good governance in Oyo State which is being offered by the PDP. There is no gainsaying that the present leadership in Oyo State, led by Engr Seyi Makinde is the best thing that has happened at this time. Therefore, I am very certain that the decision of the party leadership is good for our state and we would support our candidate. This is an organised effort to save our dear state from the political quagmire and undesirable socio-economic predicament of our people.”
Adeniran said he has, therefore, resolved to work in tandem with the Party’s wish, to field Tegbe as the party’s candidate.
He urged Tegbe to ensure he fulfils his manifesto for the welfare and well-being of the good people of Oyo South and by extension Oyo State.
Responding, Tegbe expressed his gratitude to Adeniran, adding that his gesture would help attract more endorsement from key stakeholders of the party, adding that with the development, his senatorial ambition has received a big boost.
