Governors’ forum congratulates Gov Adeleke on re-election
The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has congratulated Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun on his re-election, describing his victory as a reflection of the confidence the people of the state have in his leadership.
The forum, in a statement signed by its chairman and Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, on Sunday, said Mr Adeleke’s achievements and personal qualities contributed to his victory in the keenly contested election.
The NGF also commended the people of Osun for the large turnout during the election.
It said the interest generated by the off-cycle poll further demonstrated the resilience of Nigeria’s democracy.
The forum acknowledged the important role of opposition parties in strengthening democracy and commended all candidates who participated in the election for their efforts.
It also commended security agencies for curtailing the initial trend of violence in the days preceding the election and creating a secure environment for the poll to take place with minimal incidents.
The forum acknowledged the role played by President Bola Tinubu in balancing his position as leader of the ruling party with his responsibility as the father of the nation.
“We are confident that Gov. Adeleke will continue to build on the successes of his first term in the overall interest of the people of Osun State,” the forum said.
