Osun Election: Don’t seek vengeance – Bishops to Adeleke

The World Bishops Council (WBC) in Africa has congratulated Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke on his re-election, urging him not to seek revenge or victimize anyone. The council emphasized that Adeleke's victory was seen as a divine appointment and urged him to concentrate on the welfare of the people and undertake more projects to uplift the state.

The World Bishops Council praised the Osun voters for their steadfastness during the election, despite facing threats and monetary inducements. The council's Africa Nuncio, Bishop Seun Adeoye, and the WBC leader in Osun State, Bishop Mike Adekeye Adebomi, expressed their endorsement of Adeleke before the election, citing his perceived divine selection.

The council advised Adeleke to avoid actions that could be seen as retaliation against political opponents or individuals who may have offended him. They emphasized that vengeance belongs to the Lord and that Adeleke should focus on the people's welfare and development. Additionally, the Religious Engagement Committee (Christianity), which supported Adeleke's re-election, congratulated the governor and his administration, vowing to continue their support and prayers for his success in the upcoming four years.
