Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has shared that he decided to return to school and earn a degree due to attacks he faced from the opposition. Speaking at the convocation ceremonies of Adeleke University in Ede, Osun state, the governor revealed that after the 2018 governorship election loss, he became a target of severe personality attacks and assaults.
Escaping the attacks, Adeleke left the country to complete his degree program, following the insistence of his elder brother, Dr. Deji Adeleke, who urged him to prioritize education if he wished to pursue his 2022 governorship ambition. Adeleke emphasized that age should not be seen as a barrier to pursuing educational dreams, as completing his education became a condition for his political aspirations.
Encouraged by his brother’s advice, Adeleke made the decision to re-enroll and successfully completed his degree program. He expressed pride in this achievement and expressed gratitude to his family and friends for their unwavering support.
Dr. Deji Adeleke, the founder of Adeleke University, also addressed the audience and called for collective efforts in bringing positive change to Nigeria. He urged Nigerians who desire a better country to actively contribute to nation-building rather than solely blaming those in positions of authority.
