Adeleke during a media chat today after a private meeting with President Buhari at the state house noted that signing the Electoral Act paved way for his victory as Governor as well as free and fair elections in his state.

Governor Adeleke elected under the ticket of the main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is visiting the state house for the first time since he was inaugurated in November last year. He told state house correspondents that he was at the Villa to say hello.

Underscoring the President’s good health, Governor Adeleke noted that Nigerians and the International community have equally applauded the conduct of the exercise.

It would be recalled that during the election in July 2022, Governor Adeleke unseated the incumbent governor, Gboyega Oyetola of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Governor Adeleke noted the visit to the villa would also provide him the opportunity to discuss other issues of federal assistance with the Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari.

Governor Oyetola made the declaration while addressing journalists at the National Headquarters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja after a brief visit to the National Secretary of the party, Senator Iyiola Omisore.

Oyetola also assured Senator Iyiola Omisore that he will deliver one million votes for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2023.

The Governor lost the July 16 Osun governorship election to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke.

The PDP candidate polled 403,371 votes while the Governor scored 372,257.

Dissatisfied by the outcome, Oyetola approached the tribunal and demanded cancellation of the election over alleged over-voting and by-passing of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, among other electoral frauds.

When asked about his fears on the ongoing petition at the Osun Governorship Election Tribunal, Oyetola simply said: “I don’t have any fear. I have faith in Almighty God. I will reclaim my mandate by the grace of God.”

On the 2023 presidential poll, the Governor said the State was prepared to deliver for the APC Presidential candidate come February 25, 2023.

In the letter, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi allegedly requested for the sum of Twenty Million Naira from Governor Adegboyega Oyetola to finance his proposed marriage to the daughter of the Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero.

In reaction to this, Osun State Government in a statement signed by Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Funke Egbemode said: “We are aware that the Oluwo has denied writing the letter and as a government it is important to stop those making negative insinuations in their tracks

“This  fresh attempt by mischief makers to bring the governor and the government on a collision course with the citizens did not come as a surprise especially as the state draws closer to its gubernatorial primaries and election. The community of sadists are increasing the tempo if their shameless propaganda  machine. However, this is another dead-on-arrival plot.

“For starters,  it is an established fact that this is a government that has put the welfare of its citizens ahead of personal or group interests. It is also established that Governor Adegboyega Oyetola is a prudent manager of resources, who is focused on the development of Osun and everything that  translates to public good.

“Specifically, the people of Iwoland are happy with this government for looking in their direction after years of neglect and they eloquently expressed their pleasure with the governor when he visited Iwo Federal Constituency last week.  Of course,  we knew the unprecedented crowd that welcomed the governor would give the sadists sleepless nights but this resort to blackmail is low, even for them.

“These mischief makers have come up empty again and all their attempts will come to nothing. We will not  be disturbed or distracted by the noise of political miscreants whose only job is to grab their phones, get on social media every morning to cause bad blood.

“We implore the good people of Osun to ignore all insinuations targeted at maligning this governor and government. We can see through the thin veneer of those who out of desperation will do anythingto get the attention of Osun people. We know they are running out of oxygen, but we will not descend to their level.
