President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, on his victory in the just-concluded governorship election, describing the outcome as a testament to the people's confidence in the governor and a sign of the strength of Nigeria's democracy.

In a statement released on Sunday, the President disclosed that he personally called Adeleke to congratulate him on securing a second term in office.

Tinubu said the governor's re-election reflected the trust reposed in him by the people of Osun State and urged him to use his renewed mandate to foster unity and accelerate development across the state.

"I called Governor Ademola Adeleke earlier today to congratulate him on his election victory in Osun State. His victory once again confirmed the confidence the people of Osun State have in him," the President said.

He wished Adeleke a successful second tenure and charged him to work for all residents, irrespective of their political affiliations.

"Now that he has won, Governor Adeleke must unite the people of Osun State and rally them for growth, stability, and social and economic progress, regardless of the political choices they made at the election," Tinubu added.

The President also commended other candidates who participated in the election, saying their conduct and participation helped strengthen Nigeria's democratic process.

According to him, the peaceful conduct of the poll and its outcome demonstrate that democracy will continue to thrive under the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government.

Tinubu further praised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies for ensuring a peaceful, transparent and credible election that produced a clear winner.
