President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the Supreme Court judgment which affirmed the election of Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the duly elected governor of Osun State.

The president wrote:

“With the final decision by the Supreme Court on the July 16, 2022 governorship election in Osun State, all hands should be on deck to provide the Adeleke administration all the support needed to implement programmes, policies and plans fashioned to make Osun flourish and succeed.

“The main task at hand is to make the people feel the impact of good governance, that guarantees a prosperous, peaceful and stable Osun State.

“Elections should be seen as a 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 Osun State, at the end of litigation.

“Let me also recognize and acknowledge the important role of the judiciary in deepening rule of law and democracy in Nigeria”, the president said on Tuesday evening on his verified Facebook page.
