An All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential aspirant, Alhaji Lawal Owojori Bayero, has congratulated Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, on his victory in the governorship election, saying the outcome reflects the will of the people.
Bayero, who is also the Chairman of Owojori Network Consult Ltd, thanked Almighty Allah for preserving peace in the state and preventing political interests from undermining the peaceful conduct of the election.
In a statement issued by him, Bayero commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as a “fatherly role” in managing the political situation in the state.
He said the President demonstrated leadership by allowing the people to freely choose their preferred candidate despite the political interests involved.
“Mr President showed leadership. He played the role of a father when his children were fighting over one position. That is the kind of leadership Nigeria needs,” he said.
Bayero also commended the people of Osun State for exercising their democratic rights and making their choice through the ballot.
He urged Adeleke to regard his victory as a fresh mandate to serve the people and deliver more dividends of democracy during his second term.
“Osun people have spoken. I urge Governor Adeleke to do more in his second tenure. Work harder, serve better, and let the dance continue because the people have given you a renewed mandate,” he said.
The APC chieftain called on all political actors and stakeholders in the state to accept the outcome of the election and join hands in promoting peace, unity and development.
He reaffirmed his commitment to the progress of the APC and the unity and development of Nigeria.
