  "account": "President Bola Tinubu met with Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke at the Presidential Villa in Abuja to urge him to demonstrate magnanimity in his re-election victory and promote unity, peace, and stability. Adeleke presented Tinubu with his certificate of return for the election. Tinubu appealed for magnanimity in victory for all political actors, stating that anyone who cannot celebrate a free and fair election does not deserve democracy. He emphasized the importance of building a network of unity and using the mandate to translate into governance rather than triumphalism. Tinubu described Adeleke as in a unique position to shape a broader legacy of unity, peace, and stability. He urged the governor to promote democracy, stability, and the rule of law, and not to stigmatize any of his opponents. Adeleke thanked Tinubu for ensuring a free and fair election and expressed his commitment to living up to the democratic values he received.",
