The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has congratulated Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, on his victory at the polls over the weekend.
The NGF in a statement by the Chairman of the forum and Governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman Abdul Razaq, acknowledged the strides and personality of the Governor, which readily paid off at the keenly contested election.
The Forum similarly commended the people of the state for the large turnouts during the election.
According to the statement, the NGF believe that the interest that the off-cycle ballot generated again confirmed the resilience of the Nigerian democracy.
The Forum acknowledged what it described as the incredibly important role that opposition parties also played in shaping the nation’s democracy and commended all the candidates for their efforts.
The NGF also commended the security agencies for curtailing the initial trend of violence in the days leading to the election and creating a secure condition for the exercise to proceed without many incidents.
“Finally, we acknowledge the statesmanlike role that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has played as he carefully balanced his position as the leader of the ruling party on the one hand and the father of the nation on the other,” NGF stated.
The NGF disclosed that it is confident that Governor Ademola Adeleke will continue to build on the successes of his first term in the overall interest of the people of Osun State.
