The Imole Campaign Council has commended the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the August 15 election, Bola Oyebamiji, for conceding defeat and congratulating Governor Ademola Adeleke on his victory.
In a statement on Monday, the council’s spokesperson, Pelumi Olajengbesi, described Oyebamiji’s gesture as a demonstration of sportsmanship and political maturity worthy of emulation.
He noted that the election was keenly contested and emotions ran high, adding that the state had regrettably lost some lives during the process. He said it was now time for healing, reconciliation and sober reflection.
Olajengbesi urged political leaders across party lines to embrace the moment and work together for the peace, progress and development of the state.
He said, “This is a commendable demonstration of sportsmanship and political maturity. Elections will come and go, but Osun State remains our collective heritage.”
According to him, political differences should not translate to permanent divisions among people who share a common destiny.
The statement further stated that Governor Adeleke remains open to ideas and suggestions from Oyebamiji and other stakeholders on how to move the state forward.
“The development of our dear state and the progress of her people is a collective responsibility. Governor Ademola Adeleke is open to ideas and suggestions from Mr Oyebamiji and others on how to move Osun State forward,” Olajengbesi said.
