It is the highest honor any Nigerian can receive to be given the people’s mandate and asked to lead Nigeria. The road to the presidency has taken several years and a lot of hard work on your part, and to have your efforts crowned by success is Allah’s way of rewarding all of your good deeds and private dua’s. People have asked why I openly supported your candidacy when others opposed you. I have received insults and threats to my life and business because of my personal choice, which I have never forced on anyone else. I will continue supporting you because I have experienced your leadership in Lagos and your achievements as a public servant. I have also admired your ability to adapt to the times and how you have supported the dreams and ideas of so many younger people. That said, I will always side with the people and Nigeria over anyone, and I think I speak for all of us when I say we need peace and stability in the country. The president’s office is a big responsibility, requiring humility, intelligence, and courage to govern successfully. These are qualities I know you have. I also know you understand better than anyone the seriousness of your role as president. After all, you have been preparing for this role since your NADECO days in 1993 and the role you took in defending M.K.O. Abiola’s candidacy as president during the June 12 protests.” The responsibility of stewardship: An Open Letter to His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR.#GodblessNigeria #Godblessourpresident #GodblessNigerians#Newdawn#iambacktowork🙏 #Loveyouall❤️ pic.twitter.com/RZVSRAjGRN — TOYIN ABRAHAM AJEYEMI (@toyin_abraham1) May 30, 2023

“I will govern with the fear of God” – Governor Adeleke reacts after Supreme Court ruling

Governor Ademola Adeleke has reacted to the Supreme Court ruling with an assurance to govern the people with the fear of God. Recall that in the late hours of yesterday afternoon, the Supreme Court led by Justice Emmanuel Agim, dismissed an appeal against Ademola Adeleke’s election victory by Adegboyega Oyetola, the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Reacting to the judgment, Governor Adeleke expressed gratitude to God while assuring the people of his good ruling. Adeleke while speaking in his hometown, Ede, described the judgment as “a historic landmark in the history of Osun politics”. “Today is the day our God ordained to stand his authority as the owner and giver of power,” he also said. He added, “Today is that moment when the will of the people ordained by God survived the anti-masses plot of powerful forces. We, therefore celebrate God almighty. We dedicate today’s victory to Him. State power is of God and he bestowed it on whoever he wishes. “I will remain God’s driven, divinely inspired, I will govern with the fear of God. Our governorship is an affirmation that we are for the people, by the people,” he promised. Commending the court and the judges who judged the case in his favor, he said, “Integrity of my lord justice, your affirmation for the truth and people’s will, consolidate and strengthen our democracy. On behalf of the Osun people, we appreciate you and adore your love for justice and equity. Challenge, a call to duty, a fresh demand for more dividends of democracy”. He continued, “I commit myself to more expanded delivery of good governance, in me, you will find a true pro-people governor. I seek the support of all Osun residents and citizens, in respective of party affiliations. This is our state and we must join hands to develop it. “My appreciation goes to my family. My wives, Titi and Ngozi, and children. To all Imole in Nigeria and abroad. Thank you for standing by me. I want to thank my brother and sister. “My people of Osun State, the good job continues, we wrap up the implementation of our five points agenda. We shall focus on grassroots development. We shall embark on the agricultural revival of our dear state. Our policies shall fight poverty, insecurity, unemployment, and underdevelopment. You shall truthfully feel and enjoy the dividend of democracy.”
