Former Vice President and African Democratic Congress presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has congratulated Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, on his re-election, saying the result reflects the choice of the people.
Atiku, in a statement shared on his X handle on Sunday, said Adeleke’s victory demonstrated the will of Osun residents as expressed through their votes.
“I congratulate Governor Ademola Adeleke on his re-election as Governor of Osun State. His victory demonstrates the choice of the people of Osun as expressed at the ballot box,” Atiku said.
He also commended Osun residents for their peaceful participation in the governorship election and praised their commitment to the democratic process.
Atiku wished Adeleke a successful second term, urging him to continue serving the people of the state.
The Independent National Electoral Commission declared Adeleke the winner after he secured 511,067 votes, defeating his closest challenger, All Progressives Congress candidate Bola Oyebamiji, who polled 444,815 votes.
Adeleke’s victory gives him another four-year term as governor of Osun State following the August 15, 2026 governorship election.
