I had no electoral deal or partnership with the ADC before, during, or after the governorship election.
The credit for our victory goes to God Almighty and the good people of Osun State for their overwhelming support and re-election.
For the sake of history, it is important to clarify that the ADC was never part of the rainbow coalition that canvassed, mobilised, and supported our campaign in the battle leading to last Saturday’s election.
I commend all our political partners who sacrificed, worked tirelessly, and went all out to make Saturday a victory day for all Osun people. Their commitment and support were instrumental to our success.
Now that the election is over, I remain the Governor of all Osun people, irrespective of political affiliation, religion, or tribe. My commitment is to unite our people and continue working for the progress and prosperity of Osun State.
“I will go all out for President Tinubu in 2027, big time. And when it’s time to campaign, however he wants me to come in, I will do it” - Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State.
Everywhere don dey blur, small, small…
The re-election of Governor Ademola Adeleke in the just-concluded Osun election is a fitting assurance that democracy will continue to flourish in our country under the All Progressives Congress administration.
I called Governor Ademola Adeleke @AAdeleke_01 earlier today to congratulate him on his election victory in Osun State. His victory once again confirmed the confidence the people of Osun State have in him.
I wish him great success as he prepares to lead the state for the next four years. Now that he has won, Governor Adeleke must unite the people of Osun State and rally them for growth, stability, and social and economic progress, regardless of the political choices they made at the election.
I salute the courage and discipline displayed by other contestants in the election. Their participation deepened and enriched our country’s democratic culture. The outcome of the election reflects the will of the people and is a fitting assurance that democracy will continue to flourish in our land.
I must also commend the Independent National Electoral Commission and the security agencies for conducting a peaceful and transparent election that produced a clear winner.
May our democracy continue to thrive and be strengthened
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President
@sowore@AAdeleke_01@davido@officialABAT@sowore your brand of politics is TOXIC ! I’ve never seen a politician as abusive as you are. Both the governing party and the opposition always look bad to you. You speak and act as though you’re better than JESUS CHRIST. Comon !
As the people of Osun State go to the polls tomorrow to elect their Governor for the next four years, I call on every institution and every citizen involved in this election to play their part in ensuring a peaceful, transparent, free and fair process.
I have directed the Inspector-General of Police and the heads of all security agencies deployed for the election to ensure the safety of voters, electoral officials and election materials. Every citizen must be able to exercise his or her right to vote without fear, intimidation or violence. There must be no room for anyone seeking to disrupt the process or undermine the peace of Osun State.
I urge the Independent National Electoral Commission to conduct the election with the highest standards of professionalism and integrity. Every vote must count. Every lawful vote must be properly recorded. With the 2027 general elections ahead, this final off-cycle governorship election is another opportunity for INEC to demonstrate its preparedness and strengthen public confidence in our electoral process.
To the people of Osun State, I ask you to come out in your numbers and exercise your civic responsibility peacefully. Vote for the candidate of your choice. Respect the rights of your fellow citizens to make their own choice. Elections are contests of ideas and service, and should never cost the life of any Nigerian.
The Federal Government has taken the necessary measures to support a peaceful election. Our responsibility is to protect the process and the people. The decision belongs to the people of Osun State.
Whatever that decision may be, it must be respected.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR
President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces
