Former senatorial aspirant for Osun East Senatorial District, Samuel Oyedotun, has described Governor Ademola Adeleke’s victory in Saturday’s Osun governorship election as “divine” and “an act of God.”
In a statement, Oyedotun said the result reflected the true wishes of Osun people and that no amount of manipulation could overturn the mandate freely given at the polls.
The former Chairman of the Osun State Water Corporation Board lauded the Osun electorate for voting for Adeleke, adding that the governor’s second term would bring more development to the state.
He said politicians must put Osun’s peace above personal interest.
“The victory of Governor Ademola Adeleke is divine. It is an act of God and the collective decision of Osun people who came out en masse to defend their mandate.
“Let me congratulate Osun people for their peaceful conduct despite reports of tension in some areas. You are truly the heroes, and I want you to keep supporting Governor Adeleke and the Accord Party,” the United States-trained mortgage stockbroker stated.
He also lauded the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and security agencies for ensuring votes were counted and results transmitted transparently.
He urged all political stakeholders, including the opposition, to accept the outcome in good faith and support the administration in delivering the dividends of democracy.
“Osun belongs to all of us. Now that the people have spoken, we must sheathe our swords and work together for the progress of our dear state,” Oyedotun stated.
