With the victory of the Ademola Adeleke governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the Saturday governorship election, the people of Osun State have expressed their will through the ballot.
This is the verdict of President Muhammadu Buhari in a statement signed by the Special Adviser to the President (Media and Publicity), Femi Adesina, on the Saturday governorship election.
“President Muhammadu Buhari congratulates Senator Ademola Adeleke, candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), following victory of the party in Saturday’s gubernatorial election in Osun State.
“With the election over, the President expresses 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,” he averred.
The president, however, stated that the seamless exercise was a testament to the Buhari administration’s commitment to improving the electoral process.
“President Buhari notes that the successful conduct of the election is a 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,” the president noted.
