Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has hailed the judiciary after the Supreme Court affirmed his election on Tuesday.
The apex court upheld the judgement of the Appeal Court which had earlier declared Adeleke as the authentic winner of the July 26 governorship, 2022 election in the state.
Speaking in his residence in Ede, Adeleke vowed to govern the people of the state with the fear of God
According to him: “This is a historic landmark in the history of Osun politics. Today is the day, our God ordained to stand his authority as the owner and giver of power.
“Today is that moment when the will of the people ordained by God survived the anti-masses plot of powerful forces. We, therefore, celebrate God Almighty.
“We dedicate today’s victory to Him. State power is of God and he bestowed it in whoever he wishes. I will remain God’s driven, divinely inspired, I will govern with the fear of God. Our governorship is an affirmation that we are for the people, by the people.”
He added the pronouncement of the Supreme Court has strengthened democracy affirming truth and the people’s will.
Adeleke assured: “To all stakeholders in the Osun project, be assured that the revalidation of our mandate is a challenge, a call to duty, a fresh demand for more dividends of democracy. I commit myself to more expanded delivery of good governance, in me you will find a true pro people Governor.”
