According to Punch, Abiodun also commended President Tinubu for ensuring a level playing field in the election.\n\nThere is no additional information on Abiodun's or Tinubu's comments from other sources. However, Premium Times reports that a former governor, Rauf Aregbesola, has urged Adeleke to use his renewed mandate to unite the state and deepen development.\n\nThe outcome of the Osun election has sparked reactions from various quarters. TheCable reports that Opeyemi Bamidele, senate leader, has urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to leverage the outcome of the Osun poll to secure votes for Tinubu.
