The Southwest arm of the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has congratulated Senator Ademola Adeleke for winning the July 16th gubernatorial election in Osun State.
Southwest CNPP in a statement by its Chairman, Alhaji Yinka Olona on Monday in Ibadan commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the successful conclusion of the exercise, despite few challenges encountered.
Olona equally praised the security agencies for their determination to ensure that the election was free, fair and credible.
It would be recalled that INEC declared Senator Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as the winner of the July 16 governorship election, early Sunday.
The former Senator defeated 14 other candidates to win the election. He polled a total of 403,371 votes.
Southwest CNPP under the leadership of Alhaji Yinka Olona urged Senator Ademola Adeleke to imbibe the spirit of magnanimity in victory by extending a hand of friendship to opposition parties and to build on the foundations already laid by his uncle, Senator Isiaka Adeleke towards improving the lives of the people of Osun State.
Parts of the release further read, “We, in CNPP assure Osun State citizens that the newly elected governor would not take this sacred trust for granted and would clean the rot bequeathed by past administrations and galvanise the resources of the state towards uplifting the state and taking it to the next level.”
“We pray that God give Senator Ademola Adeleke good health, better understanding, wisdom, vision and more courage to build on the foundation laid by his predecessors to take Osun State to an enviable height.
“Finally, we congratulate the good people of Osun State for peacefully expressing their political preferences, thus further deepening democracy in our environment. It is our hope that the choice they freely and collectively made at the polls ultimately translates into a better life for them in the future.”
