President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, on his re-election, urging him to unite the people of the state and focus on development.
Tinubu said Adeleke’s victory in the Saturday governorship election showed that the people of Osun had confidence in his leadership.
The President, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Sunday, said he had earlier called Adeleke to congratulate him.
He urged the governor to use his second term to bring the people together, irrespective of how they voted during the election.
“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,” Tinubu said.
He also congratulated other contestants for their participation, saying their courage and discipline had strengthened Nigeria’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,” the President said.
Tinubu also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission and security agencies for conducting what he described as a peaceful and transparent election that produced a clear winner.
He wished Adeleke success as he prepares to lead Osun for another four years.
