Congratulations have poured in for the governor-elect of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, following the victory of the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the just-concluded election.

Adeleke had stunned the incumbent governor, Gboyega Oyetola, to win the election, reversing the outcome of a matchup between both men in 2018.

He secured 403,371 votes, 28,344 more than Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress who polled 375,027 votes, to emerge victorious.

Hours after the Independent National Electoral Commission announced the outcome of the poll, the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) on Sunday congratulated him and stated that the will of the electorate must always prevail.

“With the election over, the President expresses the conviction that the people of Osun have expressed their will through the ballot, and the will of the people must always matter and be respected in a democracy,” President Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.

“President Buhari notes that the successful conduct of the election is further testimony to the maturity and commitment of all stakeholders – the electoral body, security agencies, political parties, the media, civil society, and the electorate – to further strengthen the integrity of the electoral process in the country.

“The President reassures the nation that the commitment of this administration towards having credible elections remains unshaken.”

Also, some governors elected on the PDP platform, including Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto, Bala Mohammed of Bauchi, Godwin Obaseki of Edo, and Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta who is also the party’s vice-presidential candidate, also congratulated the governor-elect.

A former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, also shared a video of himself with Adeleke’s nephew and music star, Davido, during the period of the collation of results by INEC.

PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, tweeted, “Light has come to Osun. Congratulations, Senator Ademola Adeleke on a well-fought victory.”
