Lawmaker representing Ede North/Ede South/Egbedore/Ejigbo Federal Constituency of Osun State in the House of Representatives, Hon. Bamidele Salam has congratulated Governor Ademola Adeleke over the success of last Saturday local government elections in the state.
Salam urged winners of the elections to show magnanimity and humility in their victories.
In a statement he personally signed and issued to journalists in Abuja, shortly after the elections, Hon Salam commended Governor Adeleke for his “calmness and maturity” in handling the challenges and provocations that emerged before and during the election period.
He particularly applauded the governor’s ability to maintain focus and ensure the integrity of the electoral process despite attempts to undermine the powers granted to state governments by the Nigerian constitution.
“Governor Adeleke has proven to be a true man of peace, exemplifying the dedication to selfless service that the people of Osun State need.
“His leadership through this election process stands as a testament to his commitment to fostering unity and progress for all.
“The remarkable turn out of voters today is also a vote of confidence in the administration of Senator Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke who has piloted the affairs of Osun state creditably in the last two years”, the lawmaker said.
Salam, who is the leader of Osun caucus in the House of Representatives, also commended the leadership and staff of the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission, OSSIEC, for their steadfastness and dedication to the sacred duties of conducting elections in a very challenging atmosphere.
He also commended the Osun electorate for their peaceful and orderly conduct during the elections.
