Dr. Samuel Ortom, Governor of Benue State, has congratulated Osun State Governor-elect Senator Ademola Adeleke on his victory in Saturday’s gubernatorial election.
He congratulated Senator Adeleke on his victory, saying, “the people have spoken.”
In a congratulatory message to Adeleke, Governor Ortom also praised the people of Osun State, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the media, civil society organisations (CSOs), and security operatives for ensuring that the will of the people prevailed.
“On behalf of myself, the government, and the PDP family in Benue State, I congratulate Senator Ademola Adeleke on his election as Governor-elect of Osun State,” he said. I am convinced that you will provide long-term leadership for the people in return for the massive support they have shown you by voting for you.”
“The victory of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Senator Adeleke, in the Osun election is a measure of trust and confidence of the citizens in him and the party,” Ortom said.
He cautioned Senator Adeleke, however, not to take the trust and confidence for granted, and urged him to carry everyone along.
The Governor stated that the people expect him to change the narrative by bringing positive changes to the state of Osun.
The governor stated that Adeleke’s election “is a precursor to the sweet round of victories awaiting the PDP as we begin to take back all the states in our resolve to rescue Nigeria from the destruction meted out by the clueless APC-led federal government.”
The Benue leader urged Adeleke to uphold and improve his family’s reputation for excellence, dignity, and leadership so that Osun State can regain its glory under his administration.
While congratulating the PDP’s National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, and the PDP’s National Working Committee, Governor Ortom also expressed confidence that the party’s victory in Osun State will change the political map of the South West, as the PDP is ready to rescue the country from its undertakers in the APC.
