Senator Ademola Adeleke, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has reacted to his victory in the 2022 governorship election in Osun state.
Shortly after he was announced as the winner of the poll by INEC ,Adeleke took to his verified Twitter page to send a message to his followers and other Nigerians on the social media platform.
"I have brought light to Osun State," he tweeted.
In the early hours of Sunday, July 17, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Ademola Adeleke of the PDP as the winner of the election.
Adeleke unseated the incumbent governor, Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The PDP won in 17 of Osun’s 30 local governments while the APC won in 13.
None of the other 13 candidates who took part in the election won in any local government.
A total of 15 political parties took part in the election held on Saturday across the 30 local governments of Osun.
Many observers described the election as free of violence but characterised by vote buying.
