Firstly, we wish to applaud the tireless effort of our party leaders in Kabba/Bunu/Ijumu Federal constituency. Leaders such as, Chief Olowodola, Engr. Olushola Olumoroti, Hon. Funsho Olumoko, Hon. Ismail Adesayo, Hajia Rakiya Alfa, Hon. Kingsley Oga and Comr. Ajayi Rapheal Sunday.
It is pertinent we the youth of the constituency clearly state our position over S.O Adeleye defection to the party.
We the youth of the party therefore wish to dissociate ourselves from him and equally wish to state that:
1. We are worried that Mr. Adeleye have a deliberate intention to ridicule some of our party leaders by using the party as a mere platform to pursue a selfish agenda.
2. He is boastful and believes he can always buy his way with money and this had made him push aside ADC youth in the constituency while at the same time dealing with some PDP leaders/youth against the party’s interest which amounts to anti-party activities and this may affect the party chances at the polls come next year.
3. That we remain faithful and loyal ADC members, our support for the House of Assembly Candidature of Alh. Shuaib Impimisho and Chief. Alfred Aiyenale is unshakeable and unwavering. The Senatorial Candidate, Omoluabi Olabode Adeyemi also have our full backing and prayers but the House of Representative candidature of S.O Adeleye as being widely rumored is totally unacceptable to us.
4. We the ADC youth in the constituency are worried that S.O Adeleye defection into the party is a calculated plan to frustrate the party and play the ‘’’Judas Iscariot’’ role in advancing the interest of his supporters in PDP.
5. We are also raising concerns that ADC youth have been badly treated by S.O Adeleye who believes with money he can buy himself the party ticket. Our conscience can not be bought by money and we remain committed to rescuing the party from political usurpers.
6. That we make bold to say Mr. Adeleye is not and will never be loyal to his party after the 2019 general election either he wins or loses and as a matter of fact we prefer the most humbled and God fearing Dr. JJ Orungun who has gone through thick and thin to register the existence of our party in Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu federal constituency.
7. The youth constitute 70% of voters in the coming election and will therefore to some reasonably extent determine the outcome of any election. We therefore urge our leaders to call S.O Adeleye to order or else the party may face some damaging challenges in the coming election.
8. We are also aware that Mr. Adeleye purchased some motorcycles for delegates of PDP primary election, when he couldn’t emerged at the primary he decided to join our party ADC, one would have expect that, out of genuine love for his new found bride ADC, he would have empowered constituency members with those motorcycles as this will greatly help in advancing the cause of the party in the district and Okunland in general.
We then wonder if Mr. Adeleye truly loves the party or only playing pranks on our sensibility.
9. Mr. Adeleye should also be aware that all other candidates of the party emerged through a transparent direct primary election in which all bonafide members of the party were delegates, consequently we expect that ADC Members whose mandate he wanted to represent as a candidate in the coming election should not be treated with disdain.
10. Finally, we wish to reiterate our unflinching support to the party, we shall also fully participate in the coming zonal campaign kick-off holding on 29th December but before then we hope all issues raised above will be fully addressed, failure to do this may cause some set back for the party in the constituency as we the party’s youth are ready to mobilize against the party in the constituency.
Thank you all.

For: Kabba/Bunu/Ijumu ADC Youth.
