The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, on Friday, praised the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), for signing the Electoral Act (2022), which he said promoted free and fair elections and aided his emergence as governor in the July 16, 2022, governorship election.
Adeleke stated this during his first meeting with the President at the State House, Abuja, since his inauguration in November 2022.
“I am a beneficiary of the new Electoral Law you signed, as it paved the way for free and fair elections, ruling out ballot box snatching and stuffing. The security agencies followed your instruction to be fair and firm, and I am so proud of you. You are a true father, regardless of political party differences,” he said.
Speaking shortly after the meeting, the governor added, “Since my election, I feel like I should come and say hello to Mr President and thank him for signing that Electoral Act because I benefited from it. That paved the way for free and fair elections and the international community is applauding Nigeria, that Nigeria is set for democracy.
