Osun poll: I had no deal with ADC, says Adeleke

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has denied having an electoral deal with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) after his re-election win. According to Adeleke, his victory was due to divine intervention and the support of the people of Osun State.

The denial comes after the ADC claimed it worked with Adeleke's Accord Party to prevent the All Progressives Congress (APC) from winning the election, as reported by Daily Post Nigeria.

Governor Adeleke's re-election has been hailed by his nephew, Davido, who described it as a remarkable victory against strong opposition, with 17 governors and many senators and House of Representatives members reportedly against him. Davido attributed the victory to the support of Osun voters.
