Sir: It would be recalled that after a highly engaging electoral battle, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke was declared the winner, having polled 403,371 votes to defeat incumbent Governor Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who scored 375,027 votes.

“Elections belong to the people. It’s their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds then they will just have to sit on their blisters” – Abraham Lincoln

Though there were some reports of the slow response of the electronic transmission machine in a few places and the nauseating vote-buying issue threw up its ugly head, the peaceful nature of conduct of the election stood it in good stead. Adeleke had nursed the ambition of becoming Osun State governor since 2017 when he contested for the Osun West senatorial bye-election which was informed by the death of his elder brother, Isiaka Adeleke, a former governor of the state. Unfortunately, he could not get the nod of the APC stalwarts to get the governorship ticket to complete his brother’s tenure. That explains why he cross carpeted over to the PDP where he became the candidate and incidentally won the Senatorial election.
