Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has revealed that attacks from the opposition propelled him to go back to school to earn a degree.
Adeleke made this revelation while speaking at the combined 9th undergraduate and 5th postgraduate convocation ceremonies of the Adeleke University, Ede, Osun state, on Sunday, where 75 postgraduate and 537 undergraduate students were conferred with various degrees.
The governor said after losing 2018 governorship election, he was subjected to the worst personality attacks and assaults.
He added that he had to leave the country to escape attack and to complete his degree programme, after his elder brother, Dr. Deji Adeleke, insisted he must complete his education or forgo his 2022 governorship ambition.
Adeleke advised that age should not be seen as a barrier to pursuing educational dreams, saying one of the conditions he was given before his 2022 governorship ambition was for him to complete his education.
