The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 elections, Atiku Abubakar, has commended the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, for going ahead to conduct the local government election in the state.
In a post via his official X handle today, Atiku called for a peaceful and hitch-free election and urged security agencies and electoral officials to perform their duties with the highest sense of responsibility to the public.
He wrote, “As residents in Osun State go out to the polls today to elect council chairpersons, I once again urge for a peaceful and hitch-free exercise.
“The local council election is the heartbeat of a democratic system, given that its outcome impacts closely on the lives of the citizens.
“I commend Governor Ademola Adeleke for going ahead with the exercise and urge security agencies and polling officials to perform their duties with the highest sense of responsibility to the public.”
Recall that the federal government, through the Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, and the Nigeria Police Force, had called for the suspension of the election in the state based on credible intelligence obtained.
