Buhari congratulates Adeleke, says Osun governor easygoing
President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Governor Ademola Adeleke on his 63rd birthday and Supreme Court victory, describing him as an easygoing person.
The president’s congratulatory message was issued by his media aide Femi Adesina, on Friday.
Mr Buhari affirmed that Mr Adeleke had solidified his base and gradually built a formidable network of friends and political allies that had helped his many victories, including leading one of the 36 states in the country.
The president noted that Mr Adeleke’s easygoing outlook on life had turned into an asset, with a huge following that cuts across all ages.
He urged the governor, whose victory was recently validated by the Supreme Court, to place Osun’s interest and the people’s welfare above all else and seek God’s guidance to deliver on his mandate.
Mr Buhari prayed that God would grant Mr Adeleke, a one-time senator who represented Osun-West, the strength, wisdom and courage to serve his people and the nation.
