“I heartily congratulate Senator Ademola Adeleke on this well-deserved victory. I have no doubt that he will continue to deliver on his mandate to transform Osun State and improve the lives of its citizens,” Fintiri said.
The Adamawa governor also praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as his commitment to democracy during the election.
