Dele Adeleke, an aspirant under the PDP, is challenging their uncle, Ademola Adeleke, for the party’s ticket ahead of the Osun 2022 governorship election.

In an interview with Channels Television, Mr Adeleke said he is more competent than his uncle who was the governorship candidate for PDP in 2018.

He also said that being Senator Adeleke’s nephew should not hamper his aspiration to serve the people of the state.

He stated that running for a political office is more about competence than political alliances and, claiming to be the best candidate PDP can produce to challenge the incumbent Governor Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressive Congress (APC).

Recall that this comes as the race for the Osun 2022 election comes closer.

Bamidele is hoping to contest against his relative, Ademola Adeleke who is Davido’s uncle.
