Dr Deji Adeleke, elder brother of Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has said he was certain his brother would win the governorship election despite what he described as the opposition’s backing from the presidency.

He stated this in a video shared by X user #OluwasayoElijiah on Monday, at Adeleke’s victory celebration held on Sunday night.

PUNCHONLINE reports that Ademola Adeleke was declared the winner of the Osun gubernatorial elections on Sunday.

Adeleke said, “I don’t discuss with anybody. I do it in the corner of my room. I do this every day. So, I was not worried. I had no doubt in my mind that Ademola will win. Ademola will overcome,” he said.

Explaining his confidence, he added, “I fortify myself with the power of the Almighty God every day. And the day that I fast, I’ll do it three times a day. And nobody knew. I don’t discuss with anybody.”

On the opposition, Deji said, “Let them come with all the battalions, withdraw the Army, bring all the money from the Central Bank. Nobody is above God Almighty.”

He added, “He comes with his wickedness. He comes with the power that he thinks he has because he’s connected to the Presidency. But Ademola comes against them in the power of the Almighty God.”

Deji also said he had prayed for the governor’s protection and victory, adding, “He dances and praises your name. So, Lord Almighty, God, the owner of the universe, show up for him.”

He concluded by declaring, “Ademola will defeat them,” which he said he repeated in his prayers every day.
