He described Adeleke as a capable hand and said there was no doubt that he would perform excellently in office.
“The people of Osun have made a clear choice by voting for Sen. Adeleke of the PDP. I can only assure the good people of Osun that the PDP and the governor-elect have all it takes to wipe away your tears and provide you the dividends of democracy that have hitherto eluded you.
“With Sen. Adeleke on the saddle of governance, I do not doubt that the state will soon witness unparalleled development both socially, economically, and politically”, he said.
