May 09, (THEWILL) – President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the Supreme Court’s verdict on the July 16, 2022, governorship election in Osun State, on Tuesday.
The President also noted the important role of the judiciary in deepening the rule of law and democracy.
THEWILL reports that a five-member panel of the apex court, on Tuesday, affirmed Adeleke as Governor of Osun State.
While reacting to the ruling, President Buhari, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, reminded the political class and their supporters that with the final decision by the apex Court, the main task at hand is to make the people feel the impact of good governance, where a prosperous, peaceful and stable Osun is guaranteed.
He urged all citizens and residents of the State, particularly her notable sons and daughters, to give the Government of Senator Ademola Adeleke all the support it needs to ensure that programmes, policies, plans and aspirations are fashioned to make individuals and businesses flourish and succeed.
According to him, “Elections should be seen as the path to an end, which is the progress of the people in a peaceful environment, rather than unending bickering. This is the time for inclusion and harmony in the State at the end of litigation.”
President Buhari thanked the people of Osun for contributing immensely to the development of the nation, particularly through the State’s rich cultural heritage, several historic sites and tourist attractions, including the Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The President trusted that the Government will continue to develop the boundless resources in the State of the Living Spring, complementing the roles of the government at the Centre of national development and prosperity.
