Why I Visited Tinubu After Osun Election – Adeleke

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has said his visit to President Bola Tinubu was primarily to appreciate him for respecting the democratic process during the recently concluded governorship election in the state.

Adeleke made the remarks after holding a closed-door meeting with President Tinubu at the State House in Abuja on Thursday, a few days after securing re-election.

The governor was declared the winner of the August 15 governorship election after polling 511,067 votes to defeat his closest challenger, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, who scored 444,815 votes.

Adeleke won in 19 of Osun State’s 30 local government areas, while Oyebamiji secured victory in the remaining 11 councils.

Following the election and his receipt of the certificate of return from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Adeleke paid a visit to Tinubu at the Presidential Villa.
