The Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation and Peoples Democratic Party state governors have hailed Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke on his inauguration as the sixth Governor of the state.
The Campaign said the governor’s inauguration sets the stage for the streak of victory of the Peoples Democratic Party which will climax on May 29, 2023, when its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, will be sworn into the office too.
In a statement signed by the spokesperson for the campaign, Kola Ologbondiyan, on Sunday, it read, “The people of Osun State are the first beneficiary of the better life which the PDP will be berthing at the national level with effect from May 29, 2023.
“Our campaign commends the People of Osun State for their perseverance in the last four years of pains during which their collectively hard-earned fortunes were ferried to Bourdillon by the ‘Ajele’.”
“We celebrate the People of Osun State for asserting themselves and liberating their state from the yoke of anguish, misrule and accompanying pains which the All Progressives Congress has come to represent in our nation.
Ologbondiyan urged Nigerians to reinforce the feat achieved by the people of Osun State by remaining steadfast in their resolve to vote for Atiku Abubakar in the February 2023 Presidential election.
In a related development, the PDP Governors under the platform of the PDP Governors Forum PDP-GF also congratulated Sen. Ademola Adeleke on his inauguration as Governor of Osun State.
The Forum under the leadership of Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State noted, “his July 2022 victory at the polls was a testimony to the gallant efforts, hard work, teamwork, skilful campaigns, efficient resource allocation, openness and humility exhibited by His Excellency over the years saying that at the campaigns, he concentrated on issues that mattered most to Osun people and they, in turn, responded in kind with their votes, bestowing on him and the PDP an earth-shaking victory of historic proportions. This proves once again that God’s time is the best. He chooses the time and the place.
A statement by the Director-General of the Forum, C.I.D. Maduabum stated, “This mandate has all the trapping of the love and prayers of the people. The PDP–GF looks forward to a very engaging and prosperous first tenure for Governor Adeleke and enjoins all the people of the state to continue to pray for him, and support him with their undiluted loyalty, as his heart is full of love and concern for their wellbeing.
“Today, the path has been cleared and the light of progress is shining on Osun State. It is now time for the ‘Peoples governor’, a man so much loved by the people, to settle down to develop a roadmap for the rapid development of Osun State. The state deserves the best.
“The Forum, on this historic occasion, celebrates with his family and the people of Osun State who have entrusted leadership to him.”
Maduabum added, “Your colleagues, Governors of the PDP and our great party, PDP, pray for divine wisdom and favour, good health and protection as you lead the state as Governor. They also assure you of their unalloyed support and brotherly advice always. We welcome him to the PDP Governors’ Forum.”
