Twitterati mock Adeleke for avoiding Live TV debate
Twitter users on Sunday mocked Senator Ademola Adeleke and indeed raised doubts about whether he has anything to offer the state, after running away from the live debate organised by Channels TV in Osogbo, the Osun state capital.
He was conspicuously absent, while the other main contenders who were invited showed up. Featured were candidates of the of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Fatai Akinbade; Action Democratic Party (ADP), Moshood Adeoti; All Progressives Congress (APC), Gboyega Oyetola; and Social Democratic Party (SDP), Iyiola Omisore.
After the news of Adeleke’s absence hit the waves, Twitterati lashed on it to question whether the candidate really has anything to offer the people of the state, except tagging on the popularity of his senior brother, Isiaka, also a former senator.
Here are some tweets about Adeleke’s absence:
Tbh, an absent candidate speaks a lot about him. Forget press kits and speechwriters.
Tell us one on one what your plans are. Senator Adeleke got this wrong

LOL.
Senator Adeleke didn’t show up? May be he had a performance somewhere else or Davido didn’t pay him well enough to dance at his own campaign. Or they told him not to come to avoid over dancing.

Senator Adeleke should have been present for this #OsunDebate. I hope folks who have very harsh words for him today don’t turn around and dance to another tune if Buhari doesn’t show up for a debate next year.
