Gov Adeleke denies insulting Tinubu, thanks President for supporting rule of law

On Saturday, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun commended President Bola Tinubu for supporting the rule of law in conducting the local government election in the state.

Adeleke made the remarks while speaking with newsmen in his home town, Ede.

The governor, however, denied making any negative comments against the president.

” I did not at any point utter any negative remarks about Mr President.

” All the news articles suggesting that I made negative remarks against the president is fake.

” I have been very supportive and collaborative with the federal government.

” In my two broadcasts, I did not in any way attack the president.

” I urge the public and stakeholders to ignore the fake news as I did not attack President Tinubu in any way before and during the ongoing local government election,” he said.

The governor, who described the election process as seamless, commended the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC) for a well-done job.

Also, Teslim Igbalaye, the Secretary to the State Government, commended the electorate for casting their votes en masse.

Igbalaye, who spoke to newsmen in Osogbo, also commended OSSIEC for conducting a peaceful election.

” I want to commend the electorate for coming out en mass to cast their votes.

” The election has been peaceful, and I know that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will emerge victorious,” he said.
