Biodun Oyebanji, governor of Ekiti state, has congratulated Ademola Adeleke on his re-election as Osun state governor.
Adeleke, candidate of the Accord, was declared winner of the
August 15 Osun governorship election by the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) on Sunday morning.
In a statement by Yinka Oyebode, his special adviser on
media, Oyebanji described Adeleke’s victory as a reflection of the wishes of
the majority of Osun voters.
He urged Adeleke to be magnanimous in victory and reach out
to other contestants for their input in the administration of the state.
“This is democracy and majority of Osun voters have
expressed their preference for the re-election of Governor Ademola Adeleke,”
Oyebanji said.
“Congratulations to Governor Adeleke on the electoral
victory. I urge him to be magnanimous in victory and carry other contestants
along in the task of building a more prosperous Osun State.”
Oyebanji also praised President Bola Tinubu for what he
described as providing a level playing field for all contestants in the
election.
He said the development helped reduce tension and
contributed to making the contest credible.
“We must specially appreciate our dear President, Asiwaju
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for providing a level playing field for all the contestants.
This singular act of the President reduced tension and made the contest a
credible one,” he said.
The Ekiti governor also commended INEC and security agencies
for what he described as a job well done.
Oyebanji congratulated Bola Oyebamiji, the All Progressives
Congress (APC) candidate, for putting up what he described as a strong
challenge in the election.
He also urged Osun APC members to accept the outcome and
return to the drawing board ahead of future elections.
However, Oyebanji said Adeleke’s victory should not be
interpreted as a rejection of Tinubu or the APC ahead of the 2027 presidential
election.
“The outcome of the Osun Governorship election should not be
misinterpreted as a true reflection of Osun people about President Bola Ahmed
Tinubu. Certainly not,” he added.
“The people of Osun will massively vote for President Tinubu
come January 2027.”
