  "summary": "Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has denied any electoral deal with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) following his re-election win. According to Punch and Daily Post Nigeria, Adeleke attributed his victory to divine intervention and the massive backing of the electorate.\n\nThe governor's denial comes after Bolaji Abdullahi, spokesperson for the ADC, claimed that his party had collaborated with Adeleke's Accord Party to prevent the All Progressives Congress (APC) from winning the election, as reported by Premium Times and Daily Post Nigeria.\n\nAdeleke, who won a second term in office with 511,067 votes, defeating the APC's candidate Bola Oyebamiji who had 444,815 votes, emphasized that the ADC was never part of the coalition that drove his campaign to success.",
