Former
Aide to the immediate past President, Goodluck Jonathan, Doyin Okupe has
reacted to the victory of the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate in the Osun
rerun Senatorial election, Ademola Adeleke.
He described
the victory as an honour to the departed brother of the winner, late Senator
Isiaka Adeleke.
Recall
that Doyin Okupe, last week, announced he was resigning his membership of the
PDP, but has not announced a new party.
He
wrote on his Facebook wall, “I join many this morning to give thanks to the
Almighty God for hearing our prayers and honouring our late and departed
brother, Senator Isiaka Adeleke by giving a resounding victory to his junior
brother in the Osun West Senatorial Rerun.
“Only
God Almighty can make the dead to triumph over the living and the Mighty.
“This was a non partisan victory. It is a
victory for the people and the entire electorate in Osun West including members
of APC, Labour other parties and the neutral and ordinary citizens who in a
rate demonstration of unity of purpose, voted overwhelmingly against the
candidate of the incumbent government.
“Very
important in this victory, also, was the notable candour, uprightness and
neutrality of INEC, which was largely due to the fact that the powers that be
were not interested in the elections as such since the contending APC faction
was from another political stable.
“In
all these we return All Glory to Almighty God, the Creator and God of all flesh
who superintends over the affairs of men as a Sovereign God, doing what He
pleases.
“The
Lord has done a good thing this day and it is pleasant in our eyes.”
