Former senatorial aspirant for Osun East Senatorial District, Samuel Oyedotun, has described Governor Ademola Adeleke’s victory in Saturday’s Osun governorship election as “divine” and “an act of God.”
In a statement issued on Sunday, Oyedotun said the result reflected the true wishes of Osun people and that no amount of manipulation could overturn the mandate freely given at the polls.
The former Chairman of the Osun State Water Corporation Board lauded the Osun electorate for voting for Adeleke, adding that the governor’s second term would bring more development to the state.
“The victory of Governor Ademola Adeleke is divine. It is an act of God and the collective decision of Osun people who came out en masse to defend their mandate.
“Let me congratulate Osun people for their peaceful conduct despite reports of tension in some areas. You are truly the heroes, and I want you to keep supporting Governor Adeleke and the Accord Party,” the United States-trained mortgage stockbroker stated.
