Osun poll: Abiodun congratulates Adeleke, commends Tinubu

Dapo Abiodun, the governor of Ogun State, has congratulated Ademola Adeleke on his victory in the Osun State governorship election. Abiodun also commended President Tinubu for ensuring a level playing field in the election, according to Punch Nigeria.

Dele Momodu, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, however, stated that President Tinubu lost in the election, not the All Progressives Congress. Momodu claimed that the APC's governorship candidate and others were "name droppers" who used Tinubu's name in Osun State, as reported by Daily Post Nigeria.

Various individuals have reacted to the election outcome. Kenneth Okonkwo, a former Labour Party presidential campaign spokesperson, congratulated Adeleke on his re-election, saying the victory demonstrated that "the power of the people will always be greater than the people in power." Opeyemi Bamidele, senate leader, urged the APC to leverage the outcome of the Osun election to secure votes for Tinubu, according to TheCable.
