The monarch congratulated the winner of the bye-election, Otunba Ademola Adeleke.

Oba Akanbi also felicitated with the Timi of Ede, Oba Munirudeen Adesola Lawal and the people of Ede land, on the victory of their illustrious son, saying the victory is for the entire Osun west senatorial district. According to the monarch, the peace that prevailed during and after the election showed that there was no victor and no vanquished.
