President Muhammadu Buhari expressed satisfaction on the Supreme Court’s verdict on the July 16, 2022 governorship election in Osun State.
He said that the verdict is another milestone to show the important role of the judiciary in deepening the rule of law and democracy.
A statement today, May 9, by the special adviser to the President on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, quoted the President as reminding the political class and their supporters that the main task at hand is to make the people feel the impact of good governance, “where a prosperous, peaceful and stable Osun is guaranteed.”
Buhari called on all citizens and residents of the State, particularly its notable sons and daughters, to give the government of Senator Ademola Adeleke all the support it needs to ensure that programmes, policies, plans and aspirations fashioned to make individuals and businesses flourish succeed.
“Elections should be seen as the path to an end, which is the progress of the people in a peaceful environment, rather than unending bickering. This is the time for inclusion and harmony in the State at the end of litigation.”
President Buhari expressed gratitude to the people of Osun for contributing immensely to the development of the nation, particularly through the State’s rich cultural heritage, the several historic sites and tourist attractions, including the Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The President said that the government will continue to develop the boundless resources in the State of the Living Spring, complementing the roles of the government at the Centre on national development and prosperity.
