President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, following his victory in the August 15 governorship election.
Adeleke disclosed this while speaking with journalists shortly after he was declared the winner of the election.
The governor said Tinubu personally called to congratulate him, describing the gesture as a sign of support for Nigeria’s democratic process.
“I want to seize the opportunity to thank Mr President. Mr President has called me and he has congratulated me, and I thank you for making sure democracy lives on because we fought for it,” Adeleke said.
Adeleke also expressed confidence in his victory, attributing his success to his faith in God.
“I have a God who never fails. I have a God who never fails. I have a God who never fails. He will never fail. And Jesus never fails,” he stated.
The governor further appealed to his closest challenger, Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to accept the outcome and congratulate him.
“I’m expecting Oyebamiji, even as a civilised person, to call and congratulate me,” Adeleke said.
Adeleke’s victory came after he defeated Oyebamiji in the keenly contested election, securing another term as governor of Osun State.
