Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke met with President Bola Tinubu on Thursday at Aso Villa, Abuja, to present his certificate of return. The governor arrived in a black Toyota Land Cruiser SUV, dressed in navy blue traditional attire, and was accompanied by the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu. This meeting marked his first with the President since his re-election following last Saturday's governorship election.
Adeleke shared the news on Twitter, showing photographs of him shaking hands with the President. On Wednesday, Adeleke obtained his certificate of return from the National Electoral Commission, which he would use to establish a N500 million fund for election violence victims. The certificate was officially presented to him by Prof Kunle Ajayi, the INEC National Commissioner for the South-West, at a gathering with Adeleke's political allies and cabinet members.
Adeleke won the governorship election on Sunday, receiving 511,067 votes compared to Bola Oyebamiji's 444,815 votes, who was the candidate of the All Progressives Congress. In 2022, Adeleke, running for the People's Democratic Party, defeated then Governor Gboyega Oyetola.
