Following the verdict by the Supreme Court on Tuesday affirming his election as the Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke has urged his opponents including his major contender, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola to join hands with him in moving the South-West state forward.
In his words, “With the litigations over, I call on all Osun State indigenes to join hands with me and move Osun State forward,” he said.
“There is no victor and no vanquished. My hands are open for ideas, anything they can do to move Osun State forward.”
Commenting on the president’s Congratulatory message to his victory, the governor said the President’s display of support for him after the apex court verdict despite party differences showed that he is the father of the nation.
Earlier on Tuesday, the apex court set aside the appeal by Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) challenging the election of Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as Osun State Governor.
