On Sunday, Oyo State Governor ‘Seyi Makinde congratulated Senator Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke on his victory in the recently concluded Osun State governorship election, saying that the power of the people had once again triumphed.
According to him, Adeleke’s victory was similar to what happened in Oyo State during the 2019 governorship election, when voters supported an opposition party.
Makinde, who praised the throngs of voters in Osun State’s 30 local governments for sticking by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and remaining steadfast in ensuring that their votes were counted, said, “It’s great to have a second PDP flag flying in the South-West.”
According to the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, Governor Makinde also praised Senator Adeleke, PDP members, and Osun State voters for remaining strong and unwavering throughout the electioneering period.
“On behalf of the government and the good people of Oyo State, I congratulate Senator Ademola Adeleke and the people of Osun State on this victory,” he said.
It is wonderful to see a second PDP flag flying in the South-West, and this victory teaches all politicians an important lesson: power truly belongs to the people. “The power of the people will continue to triumph; the sooner politicians recognize this fact, the better for our democracy.”
