Hon. Sheriff Segun Adeshina, an aspirant for the House of Assembly, Ibadan North-West under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned the ongoing selections by party leaders especially in his constituency.
In a strong-worded message sighted by GISTSMATE MEDIA correspondent, Adeshina said the ongoing actions by party leaders are undemocratic and lack inclusiveness.
He further warned that if proper actions are not taken, he may be forced to defect to another political platform where he can continue to pursue his house of assembly ambition.
His message reads:
I have remained committed to the progress of our dear state and the welfare of the people of Ibadan NorthWest. My support for the government of His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde, has always been genuine, demonstrated through loyalty, sacrifice, and my willingness to step down in the past for unity, peace, and party stability.
However, I cannot continue to pretend that all is well when some recent decisions and actions within the political structure do not reflect fairness, inclusiveness, or the true democratic values we all claim to uphold. It is disappointing that those who have laboured sincerely are being ignored, while personal interests are now taking priority over competence, loyalty, and grassroots acceptance.
I respectfully but firmly state that I am not in alignment with certain decisions being taken, especially those that silence dedicated members and impose outcomes without proper consultation. Leadership must be just, transparent, and rewarding to those who have stood firm through difficult times.
My silence should never be mistaken for acceptance. I owe the people honesty, and I owe myself dignity. I have the capacity, experience, and passion to serve, and I will not allow anyone to suppress that mandate through manipulation or selfish politics.
As a result, I am consulting seriously with my supporters and political associates on the next line of action, including the possibility of moving to a platform where loyalty is respected, contribution is valued, and the people’s voice truly matters.
My mission remains unchanged: to serve Ibadan NorthWest with sincerity, courage, and results. Wherever justice and progress lead, that is where I will stand.
