 Senator Ademola Adelike has been declared the winner of the governorship primary elections of the People's Democratic Party PDP in Oshun State, held at Yoshebo City Stadium. Similarly, Prince Dotton Babayemi, emerged winner of a parallel exercise held also in the state capitol, declaring the results of the exercise held at the stadium by also state deputy governor who led the party's national congress committee, Senator Lawrence Iwudu Jakbo, said Senator Ademola pulled 1,887 votes to emerge the winner, while Mr. Sanya Omiri scored four votes. By the powers conferred on me as the chief returning officer of these gubantena primaries, we hereby collectively declare Adelike Ademola Judge to allow us to work together. No victory, no vanquished. We are all winners. On July 16th, today I will be emerging as the governorship candidate of the People's Democratic Party for the governorship election on July 16. And on July 16th, we are sure that we will be victorious in that election. We have our chairman here and we are acting in line with the constitution of the party. Even though that's an entering bush, it doesn't mean that everybody should follow them into the bush. That's all. Although there are guidelines, directives that can come from the national headquarters, but all these directives and guidelines are subject to the position of the constitution itself. Once again, we're being joined by Ola Bamiji, Ola Dele, director of media People's Democratic Party of Shun State. Can you tell us exactly why there were two primaries or what even led to the faction within the party in Oshun State? Good evening Nigerians, good evening plus TV. You know, TDP as a party, we are the benchmark or kind of fine post for democracy in Nigeria. We try to do our things in such a way as to set the pace for our democracy and advance it to where it should be. As far as our party rules, guidelines and laws are concerned, some of our elders who felt perhaps they have other stand points or different film points from the rest of the party or especially the overwhelming majority members of the party. Yes, we want to give it to them that they are elders of the party, but as a democratic organization, as a democratic party, what we saw yesterday at the Oshubu Bansheep Stadium was that Senator Ademona Jackson, Nuruddin, Adeliki is the overwhelming choice of our people. And as a democratic party, you have to listen, you have to submit to the we, to the wishes, to the dictate of the majority of members of the party. Yes, like one of our elders I just saw here, Homa Govnola-Gunsoyo Inola, yes, it's a very, it's a shiny light, it's a big fish in the TDP, but the fact remains that when it comes to voting, when it comes to voting, the laws of our land, the laws of our land have not conferred on him any privilege of voting twice or four times, because he was a former governor. He can only vote once. And that is what democracy is all about. So when, apart from our party members, we are also listening to the cries and yearnings and demands of the good people of Oshubu State, who are the people, who are the people we are going to present our country to at the party? How can you be a democratic party? I mean, in one breath, you're saying that, oh, the people who are in the faction should yield. But in another breath, you're also saying that you're listening to the yearnings of the people in your state. How can your people take you serious if your internal democracy is in shambles? I mean, you're talking about an overwhelming majority, but we saw a crowd also at the parallel primaries. I mean, it doesn't look like a house that seems to be together. How do you even, where do you even start from? It seems like the national definitely has recognized the party candidate who the deputy governor was the returning officer for. But how do you also get the other grieve members to be on the same page? Because this is why we're having this conversation in the first place. Yes, part of what we're doing in politics in PDP is a beauty of democracy. Yes, we respect the views of some of our others and the party chief teams. But what I'm telling you is that we cannot subvert the real tenets, the demands of democracy. When we join team of our members and say something, we have to listen to them. We have to be going by, you know, pedigree, past relationship, and what the name Adeliki in the political of our state connotes. We cannot, we cannot as a party neglect that and say, oh, because we want to please some of our, some of our elders. Because in the long run, in the long run, it is these people that will vote for us. It is the same people we expect to vote for. And that's why I said we are also listening to what the general public, the general populace of ocean state. But then that as it may, we are not foregoing, we are not foreclosing, we are not foreclosing the window of reconciliation. Yes, some of these people, they are our fathers. We see them as our fathers. We will stay good to them because apart from being chieftains of PDP, they are also critical, critical stakeholders in their fears in the project of ocean state. We also want them to know that they should look back tomorrow, I mean, tomorrow in court, and say that the actions today, the actions today does not, do not give a proofer to perpetuating sufferings, perpetuating looting, which is, which APC could not in our state today. So we also, as you are, like myself now, I also want, I don't want my former governor who served the state with his black ears, now he's going green ears. I don't want him to look back tomorrow and regret, even his actions today, that, oh, I said Prince, Prince of Ilalafonistan, he said Prince in this state. He did well to pronounce Prince of Hukuku, Hukuku is one of those traditional community ocean states. I don't want him to look back tomorrow and go to shed tears that his actions today went a long way in perpetuating sufferings for his own people, for the boarding generation. So we are not focusing, what I'm saying, what I'm saying is that we are not focusing on reconciliation, we will still meet other hand people as members of the same family, as members of the same political family, who will still run, who will meet all, all contending forces, all contending, you know, interest. This is a stage and that stage, as passed yesterday, from today, we have, we have stepped into another, another phase and this, this is our era, they understand the logic, they understand the language, they know that they just have to listen to, as I'm speaking, they are, I'm, I'm one of their subject, they have to listen to me too, because they, they cannot fail, because they are others, we must destroy your life. I'm curious, I'm curious as to why, I'm sorry, I'm curious as to why the PDP seems to go with Anadeliki, because you, you tried to speak glowingly about him and saying that he's a name in the state. I'm guessing that that's what the other faction will say about the candidate that they chose. But it's the PDP choosing Anadeliki because of his name or the family that he comes from, or are they picking him as a viable candidate to oppose whoever is in the opposition party? Is he going to be a candidate that is formidable enough to get that ticket and be governor, as opposed to just somebody who has friends in high places? Yes, yes, yes, that's part of what I've been saying. Part of the reason our members are helping on the choice of Anadeliki is that, it's that viability. We don't just want to put anybody forward and begin to run a data scatter on how we are going to win. If you are consistent with the policies of Potion State, the name Anadeliki, that family, that name alone, that name alone in the affairs of Potion State, it's a very big thing, it's a very big thing. And, you know, it's a kind of name that, that has benefited immensely. Is it about the name or about the person? Is it about the name? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, hang on. Is it really about the name? Because you keep going on about the name of the man. I mean, oh, well and dandy, but is it about the name? How do you pick, is the PDP picking these candidates based on sentiments or based on their capability to deliver in the office? Because all you've given me tonight is the fact that this man is a name that needs to be reckoned with, but does he have the characteristics, the capabilities of leading the people of Oshun State to where they want to go to? Senator Ademala Adeliki is a member of our party, and as a political party, we have also set down, we have done our own work to be convinced, to be convinced enough. Not just only me, not just about him alone. We have studied all of our actions, including this senator, Ademala Adeliki, and we have also come to the conclusion that this man will best serve the interests, not just of our party, but the interests of the good people of Oshun State. I'm not trying to play around about names, but we, as a party, we should also be mindful of who people put forward that can back to, we are facing an incumbent government for God's sake. We cannot be playing to the gallery unless we just want to disappoint our people in this state. We must put forward our best hand. We have studied him with his pedigree, we have served as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and we know what he did in that of him, because within a little less than two years today, many of those who he granted to 150 million worth of scholarship, they are graduating today. This family, this name, this someone is the political head of that family today. And so if anybody wants to say that, oh, if it's not him, if he has advised the family that it was not necessary to grant indigent students of Oshun State to 250 million worth of scholarship, he will not do that. The family will not do it. He will not do it. So we have studied him, we have done every of the respect of his family, of his political family, and we know, we know for sure that we best have the interest of our people in Oshun State. All right, Mr. Ladile, I'm hoping that you'll be able to get me the senator so that he can tell me himself what plans he has for the people of Oshun State. Can you guarantee that? Thank you. Thank you, Nigeria. Thank you for your support. Well, thank you. All right. Thank you very much, Lab Bamiji, Olade Lea, director of Media PDP Oshun State. Thank you so much for speaking with us, and that's the size of the show tonight, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for watching. We'll be back tomorrow on Plus Politics Talking for Developments.
