Hon. Sunday Adeleke, popularly known as Sung Gav, has revealed that after extended consultation with regards the leadership of the Ibadan South-West local government of various political associations, groups and personalities resulted in his submission to God’s will to contest as the people’s voices matter in the political decision of any democratic society.
Adeleke said this on Wednesday, when his intentions were made known to the members of People’s Democratic Party of Ward 8, Oke-Bola axis of the local government, that bowing to the people’s pressure is the motivating drive in this new political dispensation under the leadership of Governor Seyi Makinde.
He said, “I never knew that my political contributions at the grassroots level are noted by some concerned citizens, and my escapades especially at the educational front remain my topmost priority. It is a custom to always secure JAMB forms for intending university students. Considering the unparalleled success of our governor in the educational sector, I would like to compliment the giant strides at the local government level as a need to change the narratives of our children for the 21st century requirement.
“When I was called upon by our leader, Dr Nureni Aderemi Adeniran, to evaluate my proficiency as a leader it was surprising when he mentioned the construction of the bridge I singlehandedly built at Apata without holding any political position.

He also noted that, “The local government comprises of twelve (12) wards, and my ward is just one (1) out of the majority but I can tell categorically that under this political atmosphere my spheres of influence cut across boards. I appreciate the people’s opinion about me, and based on this standard I have no choice to allow my antecedents to speak for me.
“It wasn’t my political choice to contest for any position, as I assumed that the time isn’t right now but I have no other choice than to bow to the demands of people with full assurance that Ibadan South West under the collective responsibilities of everyone must outshine all the thirty-three (33) local governments of the state”.
