Certificate Forgery: Adeleke Demands Release of High School’s Principal

The Osun State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the forthcoming September 22 governorship election, Senator Ademola Adeleke, yesterday demanded the unconditional release of the principal of Ede Muslim High School 1, Ede, Mr Khalid Abass Adejare, by the police authorities.

In a statement issued by the Director of Media and Publicity of Senator Ademola Adeleke Campaign Organisation, Mr. Olawale Rasheed, the PDP candidate noted that the arrest of the principal was politically- motivated, describing the development as highly condemnable.

According to Rashed “We are constrained to issue this statement on the recent arrest and persecution of the principal of Ede Muslim High School over false accusations of forged school testimonial issued to Senator Adeleke as a former student of the school because of a date error. We note with great alarm the politically motivated arrest and unwarranted media attacks designed as a tool of harassment, persecution and character assassination of the PDP standard bearer; Senator Ademola Nurudeen Adeleke”.

He said further that “it is insane to continue to peddle falsehood questioning Senator Adeleke’s attendance of Ede Muslim Grammar School (Now Ede Muslim High School), where he was very popular and well known for his amiable and friendly character, always drawing people close and seeking their cheerfulness and joy, a fact his school mates and alumni members attested to. He was in fact the president of the old students association until recently.”
