He faulted the poor leadership style of political office holders and Nigerians who sell their votes during elections.
The Pro-Chancellor maintained that citizens who collect money to install a leader lack the moral standing to complain or hold political office holders accountable during their administration.
Dr. Deji opined thus:
“I told the Governor-elect (my brother) and his colleagues I said ‘you’re lucky because you don’t have any godfather to refund any money to, so whatever people contributed for your election, it’s a sacrifice for a better Nigeria, for a better State, so you and your colleagues are not under any pressure, the only thing you need to do out there is to go and serve the people’.
“And I threatened them that I will be the first to call a press conference if I see things going wrong with his government. I will be the first to alert the world that your Governor (Senator Ademola Adeleke) is derailing.
"I’ve told him and his team not to allow anyone that is not ready to serve or who is looking for money to steal from the poor people into their team, Osun is a very poor State.”
According to him, followership that cannot hold the government accountable portended danger for the future, noting that his brother would have lost the July 16 poll after 45 members of the National Youth Service Corps did not show up at their designated polling units.

Davido hails dad after uncle's win in Osun
It seems Davido’s father, Adedeji Adeleke, was the biggest winner in the recent Osun election, which took place on Saturday, July 17, which saw his younger brother Ademola Adeleke emerge winner of the election.
A viral video showed an excited Ademola going as far as prostrating for his older brother (Adedeji) after he was announced the election winner.
The video also showed Davido happily declaring his father the real Jagaban, a title belonging to Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC).
However, Davido’s dad immediately cautioned him in the video as the singer kept quiet.
