Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), praised Ademola Adeleke, the newly-elected governor of Osun State, for her tenacity and resiliency.
Obi said this while wishing Adeleke a prosperous and successful term as governor.
He congratulated Adeleke on his victory and appointment as Osun State’s sixth governor.
On Sunday, Adeleke, the well-known artist Davido’s uncle, took office as governor of Osun State.
The flagbearer for the Labour Party asked Adeleke to work for the State’s citizens.
In a series of tweets, Obi wrote: “I congratulate the Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke @AAdeleke_01, on his inauguration and formal commencement of the elected mandate of his people.
“I salute the doggedness and resilience of Governor Adeleke, and wish him a fruitful and productive tenure, in the service of his people. -PO”
The newly inaugurated governor defeated his predecessor, Gboyega Oyetola, during the July 16 governorship election in the State.
He won the election as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, after losing out in the 2018 gubernatorial election.
