Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his commitment to democracy, particularly in the recent local government elections in Osun state. Adeleke commended Tinubu for supporting the rule of law, which enabled the successful conduct of the elections across the state ¹.
The governor's comments came after he cast his vote in Ede, where he acknowledged Tinubu's democratic credentials and expressed appreciation for his administration's support throughout the electoral process.
However, it's worth noting that Adeleke had earlier raised concerns about the controversy surrounding the Appeal Court verdict on sacked local government chairmen in the state. He alleged that Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, was plotting to destabilize Osun state by issuing illegal directives to security operatives ².
Despite these concerns, Adeleke's praise for Tinubu suggests that he values the president's commitment to democracy and the rule of law. This development highlights the complex dynamics at play in Osun state's politics, where Adeleke is navigating the challenges of governance while maintaining a positive relationship with the president.
