OSOGBO — THE Deputy Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the August 15 Osun governorship election, Mr Benjamin Adereti, yesterday, described Governor Ademola Adeleke as a religious hypocrite, whose religous identity is questionable.

Adereti, who spoke at the 70th anniversary celebration of Union Baptist Church, Osogbo, said the APC is not playing politics with religion, saying it has direction in the religious identity of its candidates.

Addressing the congregation, the APC deputy governorship candidate contrasted his party’s ticket with that of the Accord party, saying the APC presented a Muslim-Christian ticket that clearly reflects religious balance.

He said: “I thank you for the privilege given me to be a part of this 70th anniversary celebration, as you all know Alhaji Bola Oyebamiji, who a Muslim is our candidate in the APC and I am his deputy and a Christian unlike the other party, whose governor we don’t know if he is a Christian or Muslim.
