Diplomat affirmed 2030 presidential standard bearer of DLA

Osun state-born diplomat, Ambassador Adebisi Olusoji, has been announced as the presidential candidate of the Democratic Leadership Alliance (DLA).

He emerged through an affirmation made by the party in Osogbo, Thursday.

The process was coordinated by the chairman of the electoral committee, Olalekan Fabayo at the DLA party secretariat in Osogbo in the presence of representatives from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

In his address, the state acting chairman, Dr. Tosin Odeyemi, described Olusoji’s emergence as a pragmatic shift from the old guard to a new beginning.

“Nigerians have seen it all. Both the APC and the PDP have demonstrated their capacities and given us their best hands,  now, it is time for a change.

“We need a pragmatic transition from old hands to a fresh start that will elevate Nigeria to greater heights within the comity of nations. That is exactly why we are here.

“The DLA is a party you can trust, and our vision sets us apart. We worked tirelessly to select the right candidate because we want to jumpstart the journey toward 2030 in Osun state in earnest.

“You are all aware of why we could not field a candidate during the just-concluded Osun gubernatorial election. Today, we say with confidence that Osun state will witness a new dawn come 2030.

“The DLA is set to keep the ruling party on its toes. We will constructively criticise any program that we feel does not serve the best interests of the people of Osun,” Odeyemi said.

He wished Governor Ademola Adeleke and his administration well in the new chapter.
