President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has extended his warm congratulations to Governor Ademola Adeleke following his triumphant re-election in the fiercely contested Osun State governorship polls.
Speaking through a statement released from the State House, President Tinubu revealed that he personally put a call through to Governor Adeleke to congratulate him on securing the mandate for a second term. The President emphasized that the outcome of the election is a clear reflection of the will of the people and a resounding testament that democracy is thriving under his administration.
“His victory once again confirmed the confidence the people of Osun State have in him,” President Tinubu stated, while urging the re-elected governor to rise above partisan lines, unite the state, and rally all stakeholders toward socioeconomic progress.
The President also took time to commend the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and various security agencies for maintaining professionalism, ensuring a peaceful, transparent environment, and providing a level playing field where every vote counted. Furthermore, he lauded opposing candidates for displaying sportsmanship and discipline throughout the electoral process, noting that their active participation deeply enriched Nigeria’s democratic culture.
This gracious gesture from the presidency has been widely praised by political analysts as a refreshing step toward dousing post-election tension. As Governor Adeleke prepares for his next four-year chapter, the focus now shifts to collaborative governance for the betterment of the good people of Osun State.
