The 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, has congratulated Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, on his re-election.
Obi, in a statement on Sunday, said the outcome of the governorship election reflected the choice of the people of Osun State.
He also commended youths across the state for what he described as their peaceful efforts to defend their votes during the election.
“The people of Osun State have spoken with courage and clarity, reaffirming that the power to choose their leaders belongs to the people,” Obi said.
According to him, the Osun election offered an important lesson about citizens’ participation in the democratic process.
“The lesson from Osun is clear: democracy is strongest when citizens are alert, conscious of their civic responsibility, and determined to ensure that their votes count,” he added.
Obi urged Nigerians to remain actively involved in the political process and protect their votes ahead of the 2027 general election.
