Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke on Friday, paid a visit to President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa Abuja, where he commended the President for being neutral during his state\u2019s governorship election.<\/p>\n

Since his assumption of office as Governor of the South West state, this marks the first time he is visiting the seat of power.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the rationale for visiting the President, the Osun Governor said he would go down in history as a major beneficiary of the electoral act 2022 signed into law by the President in 2022.<\/p>\n

He said President Buhari\u2019s neutral stance on election matters contributed immensely to the polls that brought him to power.<\/p>\n

Adeleke told state house correspondents, \u201d I just saw our President, looking so well, looking so good and I am happy about that. Since my election, I feel like I should come and say hello to Mr. President and thank him for signing that Electoral Act because I benefited from it. That paved way for free and fair elections and the international community is applauding Nigeria, that Nigeria is set for democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo that is why I\u2019m here today; to see him, thank him and wish him well in his remaining time in office.<\/p>\n

Recall that Adeleke contested the governorship election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), where he defeated Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n

Adeleke had secured 403,371 votes defeating Oyetola who garnered 375,027 votes.<\/p>\n

Since his assumption of office, Adeleke and his predecessor, Oyetola have been at loggerheads over the administration of the state\u2019s resources.<\/p>\n
