Senator Seriake Dickson, the national leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, has congratulated Senator Ademola Adeleke of Osun State on winning the state governorship.
In response to the outcome, the former governor of Bayelsa State said in a statement issued on Sunday that the win was important for Nigeria’s democracy as well as for Adeleke and the people of Osun State.
He said, “I warmly congratulate the Governor of Osun State, His Excellency Senator Ademola Adeleke, on his victory in the Osun State Governorship Election.
“This victory is significant not only for Governor Adeleke and the people of Osun State, but also for our democracy. It is a powerful reminder that, even in an increasingly challenging political environment, the people can still assert their democratic will through the ballot.
“I commend the people of Osun State for standing firm in defence of their democratic choice and call on all those who contested the election and emerged on the losing side to join hands with the Governor in the spirit of sportsmanship and work for the peace and development of Osun State.”
Adeleke, who contested on the platform of the Accord Party, polled 511,067 votes to defeat his closest rival, the All Progressives Congress candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, who scored 444,815 votes.
The governor won with a margin of 66,252 votes, securing victory in 19 of the state’s 30 local government areas, while Oyebamiji won 11 LGAs.
Congratulations once again to Adeleke on his well-deserved victory. His success is a testament to his hard work, dedication, and the trust placed in him by the people. We look forward to his leadership and the positive change he will bring to Osun State. Wishing him all the best as he embarks on this new chapter to serve and uplift the community.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
