President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said that the re-election of Governor Ademola Adeleke in the just-concluded Osun State election is a fitting assurance that democracy will continue to flourish in Nigeria under the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.
A statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser (Information and Strategy), quoted the President as saying: “I called Governor Ademola Adeleke earlier today (Sunday) 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.”
President Tinubu also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the security agencies for conducting a peaceful and transparent election that produced a clear winner, the statement concluded.
