Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has congratulated Ekiti State Governor Abiodun Oyebanji on securing a second term in office following Saturday’s governorship election.
In a message issued through his spokesperson, Malam Olawale Rasheed, on Sunday in Osogbo, Adeleke described the outcome as an indication of public confidence in Oyebanji’s leadership and governance record.
According to the statement, the Osun governor said the renewed mandate reflects voters’ acceptance of the progress recorded during Oyebanji’s first term and provides an opportunity to deepen ongoing development efforts.
“My congratulations to Governor Abiodun Oyebanji on his decisive victory in the recently concluded governorship election in Ekiti,” Adeleke said.
He added that the election result demonstrates the confidence reposed in the governor to continue delivering development and public service to residents of the state.
Speaking on behalf of the Osun State government and residents, Adeleke said he shares the optimism of Ekiti people that the incoming term would build on policies and programmes already introduced during the first administration.
The governor also wished Oyebanji a successful tenure and prayed for continued strength and guidance as he begins another term in office.
According to the source report, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Oyebanji winner of the election after he polled 319,224 votes across the state’s 16 local government areas.
The report stated that Oyebanji defeated his closest challengers, Olumayokun Oluyede of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Dare Bejide of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
With the election concluded, attention is expected to shift toward governance priorities and implementation of campaign commitments during the next administration cycle in Ekiti State.
