The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has congratulated his Ekiti State counterpart, Biodun Oyebanji, on his decisive victory in the recently concluded governorship election in the state.
Adeleke, in a congratulatory message obtained in Osogbo on Sunday, noted that the renewal of Oyebanji’s mandate at the poll was an affirmation of confidence in his leadership.
The Osun governor described Oyebanji’s landslide victory as a mark of acceptance for the progress recorded in his first term, saying his re-election will provide him the much-needed time to continue the good works he started.
“My congratulations to Governor Biodun Oyebanji on his decisive victory in the recently concluded governorship election in Ekiti State. The victory is a mark of acceptance of his leadership and confidence in him to deliver more progress for the state.
“On behalf of the Government and the good people of Osun State, I rejoice with my brother governor and share the optimism of Ekiti people that his next term will be a continuation of the impactful services that marked his first term,” Adeleke said in a statement signed by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed.
Similarly, the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has said the re-election of the Ekiti State governor for another four-year term was an indication of the resolve of the people to opt for continuity of good governance.
The Osun APC, in a congratulatory message signed by its spokesperson, Kola Olabisi, also said Oyebanji’s victory meant that the progressive party remains the most popular and favoured political platform in the South-West.
The APC statement read, “The re-election of Governor Oyebanji is an indication that the people of Ekiti have absolute confidence that the APC government is trusted, dependable, hardworking and preferable.
“May God continue to be the pathfinder of Governor Oyebanji in his continued efforts to attract qualitative governance to the South-Western state, where the people have just spoken aloud with their votes in support of the progressive government.
“We, however, observe that the superlative showing of the APC in the just-concluded Ekiti State governorship election has sent jitters to the leadership, rank and file of the Accord Party in Osun State, which performed woefully in the election in Ekiti State yesterday.”
