Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde has congratulated Senator Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke, on his victory at the just-concluded Osun State governorship election, saying that the power of the people has again triumphed.
According to him, Adeleke’s victory was similar to what happened in Oyo State during the 2019 governorship election, when the people exercised their franchise in support of an opposition party.
Governor Makinde who hailed the teeming voters across the 30 local governments of Osun State for standing by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and staying resolute to ensure that their votes counted, said: “it’s great to have a second PDP flag flying in the South-West.”
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, indicated that Governor Makinde equally lauded Senator Adeleke, PDP members and Osun State voters for remaining strong and unwavering throughout the electioneering period.
He said: “On behalf of the government and the good people of Oyo State, I congratulate the Osun State Governor-Elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke and the people of Osun State on this victory.
“It is great to have a second PDP flag flying in the South-West and this victory teaches all politicians an important lesson- that truly, power resides with the people.
In a related development, the Owa Obokun of Ijesaland, Oba Gabriel Adekunle Aromolaran has congratulated the winner of the just concluded governorship election in Osun state, senator Ademola Adeleke calling on all members of the major political parties to shun any form of violence after the election.
The Frontline Monarch said all members of the political parties are brothers and sisters saying whatever happened during the electioneering campaign should be put behind and focus on how to develop Ijesa land.
He called on members of the people’s Democratic Party, PDP, to be moderate in their celebration in a manner that will not cause mayhem in the Land.
