The Secretary to the Osun State Government, Bobagunwa Teslim Igbalaye, has congratulated His Excellency, Senator Ademola Adeleke, and the good people of Osun State on the successful re-election of the Governor for a second term in office.<\/p>\n
In his congratulatory message, Igbalaye expressed delight that the people of Osun State have once again demonstrated their confidence in Governor Adeleke by giving him their mandate to continue the good works and developmental strides of the Imole administration.<\/p>\n
He described the election as a strong reaffirmation of the people\u2019s confidence in the Governor\u2019s leadership, noting that the victory belongs not only to Governor Adeleke but to every Osun citizen who came out to exercise their civic responsibility and defend their democratic choice.<\/p>\n
Igbalaye particularly commended the people of Osun State for their impressive turnout at the polling units across the state. He said the courage displayed by voters, especially in the face of intimidation, excessive vote-buying and reported attempts to disrupt the electoral process, demonstrated that Osun people are neither cowards nor people who can be easily intimidated or bought over.<\/p>\n
According to him, the determination of the people to cast their votes and protect their mandate was remarkable. He noted that even late into the night, many voters remained on queues, refusing to leave until they had exercised their franchise, despite the prolonged voting process in some areas.<\/p>\n
He said the resilience of the people was a clear indication that the people of Osun have become increasingly conscious of the power of their votes and are determined to choose the leaders they believe will best represent their interests.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a victory for democracy and a victory for the people. It is a clear message that the people cannot be intimidated or bought into surrendering their democratic rights,\u201d Igbalaye said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
