The Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ademola Adeleke, was conspicuously absent at the televised Osun State Governorship debate
The Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ademola Adeleke, was conspicuously absent at the televised Osun State Governorship debate organised by Channels Television on Sunday. Adeleke’s podium with his name written on it remained vacant from the beginning to the end of the two-hour debate. The event started at 7:00 p.m with three candidates present.
They include Moshood Adeoti, Action Democratic Party (ADP); Iyiola Omisore, Social Democratic Party (SDP), and Fatai Akinbade, African Democratic Congress (ADC). Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) later arrived after the national anthem had been recited and the three candidates have introduced themselves, reading their profile.
They should have lied to Ademola Adeleke that it was a dancing competition to trick him to attend the debate. #Osundebate

I think its disrespecting for Mr Adeleke and Mr Oyetola not to come for #OsunDebate . How are we to know what they will offer. This is rude and unacceptable. @channelstv @CTVpolitics @seunokin #OsunDecides2018

Senator Ademola Adeleke had a golden opportunity to shift the narrative from his dancing antics to what he has to offer as as a politician. Skipping this debate wasn’t the best of decisions. #OsunDebate

#OsunDebate I really would have loved to hear Senator Adeleke speak I might be wrong but I feel he has nothing to offer as a governor …shame his not present to proof me wrong

Some say they have only see Sen Adeleke in dancing videos. I googled and found the video attached. I don't know why he didnt shpw up for #OsunDebate but going by that debate Adeleke is definitely the best man for the job. See video of an interview with @MrBanksOmishore pic.twitter.com/7E7IwPIx77
