Adeleke commends Tinubu over peaceful conduct of Osun state LG Polls

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has commended President Bola Tinubu for supporting rule of law which enabled the ongoing local government elections in the state.

Adeleke’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, in a statement, said the governor disclosed this on Saturday after casting his vote.

The governor said, the President is a true democrat with huge democratic credentials, submitting that his administration has all along been very supportive and collaborative with the federal government.

Adeleke also denied what he described as a fake news article in a publication about alleged remarks on President Tinubu, submitting that the news is fake as Adeleke did not at any point utter any negative remarks about the President.

“In my first state broadcast on this crisis, I said this about the President: ‘Let me affirm that I know Mr. President to be a true democrat, a lover of rule of law, and a believer in the sanctity of the judicial process.

“I know, as a matter of fact, that Mr. President will never authorise a dictatorial violation of the constitution irrespective of who is involved.

“It is crucial to add that Mr. President will never support any action that is capable of generating bloodbath and bloodshed.

“In my second broadcast, I said this about Mr President: ‘We have confidence in the democratic credentials of President Tinubu, who we know will always insist on the rule of law.

“We urge the public and stakeholders to ignore the fake news as Governor Adeleke did not attack President Tinubu in any way before and during ongoing local government development”. He concluded.
