After weeks of tension surrounding Osun State’s August 15 governorship election, Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi has finally congratulated Governor Ademola Adeleke on securing a second term and pledged to work with him.

Fadahunsi sent the message on September 4 on behalf of himself, his political family, associates and residents of Osun East Senatorial District. He described Adeleke’s re-election as a reflection of the people’s confidence and electoral mandate.

The conciliatory message follows controversy over remarks attributed to Fadahunsi about members and supporters of the Accord Party. Political opponents accused him of threatening violence against them. Fadahunsi publicly denied the allegation and rejected the interpretation placed on his comments after the remarks triggered backlash before the election.

Having once again secured the confidence and electoral mandate of the people for a second term, I pray that Almighty God will grant you greater wisdom, strength, good health and the grace to surpass the achievements recorded during your first term in office.
