  "summary": "Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has urged Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke to continue delivering good governance to the people of Osun. The governor was recently re-elected, winning the August 15 governorship election.\n\nFollowing his re-election, Adeleke has received congratulations from various groups, including the Organisation of African Instituted Churches, Nigeria Region, which described his victory as well-deserved. The group prayed for divine wisdom, sound health, courage, and discernment for Adeleke as he begins his renewed mandate.\n\nAdeleke has also withdrawn a suit filed against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over the freezing of the state government's bank account. The governor took the decision after President Bola Tinubu directed the EFCC to vacate the freeze order, with Adeleke saying he was satisfied with the president's intervention. However, Omoyele Sowore, an activist, criticised Adeleke's decision to endorse President Tinubu's re-election bid, questioning why the governor prioritised their shared Yoruba identity over addressing election-related violence that resulted in reported deaths.",
