Governor Ademola Adeleke has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for supporting rule of law which enabled the ongoing local government elections across Osun state.
The governor, who arrived at his polling unit in Sagba/Abogunde Ward 2, Unit 9, Ede, was accredited before exercising his civic duty.
Speaking with newsmen shortly after casting his vote, Governor Adeleke urged all eligible voters to exercise their franchise peacefully.
Adeleke said the President is a true democrat with huge democratic credentials, submitting that his administration has all along been very supportive and collaborative with the federal government.
According to him, “In my first state broadcast on this crisis, I said this about the President: ‘Let me affirm that I know Mr. President to be a true democrat, a lover of rule of law, and a believer in the sanctity of the judicial process. I know, as a matter of fact, that Mr. President will never authorise a dictatorial violation of the constitution irrespective of who is involved. It is crucial to add that Mr. President will never support any action that is capable of generating bloodbath and bloodshed”
“In my second broadcast, I said this about Mr President : ‘We have confidence in the democratic credentials of President Tinubu, who we know will always insist on the rule of law’
The Governor who described the election process as seamless, commended the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC) for a job well done, encouraged all and sundry to come out and vote peacefully, as this he said, is a crucial step in strengthening the nation’s democracy at the local level.
