President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated Governor Ademola Adeleke on his re-election in the just-concluded Osun State governorship election, describing the outcome as a reflection of the will of the people.
The President said he had personally called Adeleke to congratulate him on his victory, while urging the governor to unite the people of Osun State and focus on the state’s growth, stability, and socio-economic development.
Tinubu also commended the other contestants for their courage and discipline throughout the electoral process, as well as the Independent National Electoral Commission and security agencies for conducting what he described as a peaceful and transparent election.
In his message, the President said:
“The re-election of Governor Ademola Adeleke in the just-concluded Osun election is a fitting assurance that democracy will continue to flourish in our country under the All Progressives Congress administration.
I called Governor Ademola Adeleke @AAdeleke_01 earlier today to congratulate him on his election victory in Osun State. His victory once again confirmed the confidence the people of Osun State have in him.
I wish him great success as he prepares to lead the state for the next four years. Now that he has won, Governor Adeleke must unite the people of Osun State and rally them for growth, stability, and social and economic progress, regardless of the political choices they made at the election.
I salute the courage and discipline displayed by other contestants in the election. Their participation deepened and enriched our country’s democratic culture. The outcome of the election reflects the will of the people and is a fitting assurance that democracy will continue to flourish in our land.
I must also commend the Independent National Electoral Commission and the security agencies for conducting a peaceful and transparent election that produced a clear winner.
May our democracy continue to thrive and be strengthened.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President
