The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) celebrated the re-election of Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, viewing it as a triumph for democracy and the voice of the people, but criticized his reported commitment to support President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. NDC National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, praised the Osun electorate for resisting what he termed "tyranny," "civilian dictatorship," and attempts to suppress their democratic choices.
He commended Adeleke for asserting his right to contest the election and allowing voters to determine his fate. However, the NDC spokesman questioned Adeleke's pledge to support Tinubu in the 2027 election, calling it premature and indicative of political self-interest. He emphasized that the sacrifices made by supporters, including those who lost their lives, should not be in vain.
The NDC urged Adeleke to relish his victory and let Osun people decide their preferred presidential candidate in 2027, emphasizing that federal influence could not override voters' preferences. The NDC also lauded INEC for the election's conduct but warned that such transparency should be sustained in the 2027 general election.
