The deputy national secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Hon. Setonji Koshoedo, has commended Senator Ademola Adeleke over his victory in the Osun State governorship election held on Saturday.
He also commended the electorate for their resolve to put in place the governor of their choice in the state, which he said, would not have been possible without their belief and faith that the electoral process in Nigeria could still produce the right result.
According to Koshoedo, the success and result of the Osun State elections was much welcome because it had returned the state to its traditional political roots in the PDP.
While congratulating Adeleke, the PDP’s candidate in the elections, Koshoedo urged the governor-elect to join Governor Seyi Makinde, the current leader of the PDP in the South West, and work in concert with him to make members of the party in other states of the zone to close ranks and rally round for the success of other candidates in subsequent elections to recover the South West from the incompetence of the ruling party and its current ruinous policies.
This, he said, was even more imperative now that votes of the people were beginning to count.
Koshoedo also urged the party members and the entire people of the zone not to rest on their oars till the whole of South West was returned to true progressive democracy.
He advised party faithful and the entire people of the South West to replicate the same result in Oyo, Lagos Ogun, as well as Ondo and Ekiti states later.
15 political parties participated in the Osun State gubernatorial elections which held on Saturday, July 16, 2022 with the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Senator Ademola Nurudeen Adeleke emerging victorious with 403, 371 votes to beat the All Progressives Congress and incumbent governor, Isiaka Oyetola who was runner up with 375, 027 votes.
