Adeleke after the submission held a closed-door meeting with leaders of the party, with the National Deputy Chairman South, Taofeeq Arapaja in attendance.
The governorship aspirant disclosed that he intends to conclude the aspiration he started in 2018 and to ensure victory in the rescue mission agenda.
He said, “I am back to seek a fresh mandate in our collective struggle for good governance.
“To our party men and women, we seek their mandate to lead the party to victory next year. We are ready on all accounts to provide purposeful candidacy. With God and people, we will take over Osun state next year.”
