Henry Seriake Dickson, National Leader of the NDC party, has congratulated Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, on his victory in the Osun State Governorship Election.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Dickson described the win as significant not only for Adeleke and the people of Osun, but for Nigeria’s democracy as a whole.
“This victory is significant not only for Governor Adeleke and the people of Osun State, but also for our democracy,” he said. “It is a reminder that, even in an increasingly challenging political environment, the people can still assert their democratic will through the ballot.”
The former Bayelsa governor commended voters in Osun for “standing firm in defence of their democratic choice.”
He also called on candidates who lost the election to embrace sportsmanship and work with the governor for the progress of the state.
“I call on all those who contested the election and emerged on the losing side to join hands with the Governor in the spirit of sportsmanship and work for the peace and development of Osun State,” Dickson said.
He concluded by wishing Governor Adeleke and the people of Osun “continued peace, progress and prosperity.”
Governor Adeleke’s victory has drawn congratulatory messages from political leaders across party lines in recent days.
