A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP in Abia State, Mayor Lucky Igbokwe popularly known as Don Lulu has congratulated the governor-elect of Osun State, Sen. Ademola Adeleke on his victory at the just concluded governorship election.
Igbokwe who contested and came second at Abia PDP governorship primaries said the opposition must accept the collective decision of the people of Osun State.
In a congratulatory message on Sunday, he tasked the incoming governor to demonstrate commitment to serving the people with the mandate secured.
He said, “Congratulations to the Governor-Elect of Osun State. We must come to terms with reality and learn to accept God’s judgment good or bad. The most important thing is to provide good service to the people . Swearing to Almighty God and promising to serve Him and Humanity must be our Bond. Congratulations also to our party @officialpdpnigeria”.
Sen. Adeleke on Saturday achieved a hard-fought victory over the state’s incumbent Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state’s governorship election.
Senator Adeleke, 62, riding on the back of a campaign aimed at developing the state and retrieving what he says is his stolen mandate, secured 403,371 votes, 28,344 more than his closest rival, the incumbent governor. Governor Oyetola polled 375,027 votes.
It was enough for the Returning Officer of the election, Professor Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, the Vice Chancellor of University of Lagos to declare him winner and governor-elect.
“I declare that Adeleke Ademola Jackson Nurudeen of PDP, having satisfied the requirements of the law, is hereby declared the winner and he is returned elected,” Professor Ogundipe declared, sparking jubilation among Adeleke’s supporters.
