“I called Governor Ademola Adeleke @AAdeleke_01 earlier today 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,” the President said.
He urged Adeleke, now that he had secured another term, to extend his leadership beyond partisan lines and rally the people of Osun State towards growth, stability and socio-economic progress.
“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.
The President also commended other contestants for what he described as courage and discipline throughout the electoral process, noting that their participation had contributed to the strengthening of Nigeria’s democratic culture.

“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,” he said.

He expressed hope that Nigeria’s democratic institutions would continue to grow stronger, adding: “May our democracy continue to thrive and be strengthened.”
The President therefore wished the people of Osun State and the country well.
