Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State this morning told President Muhammadu Buhari that the recently signed into law electoral law made him emerge victorious in the last governorship poll in the state.
Adeleke who was on a thank you visit to the Presidential Villa, commended the President for the level playing ground he allowed during the election.
He said, “I had waited patiently for this appointment, and was praying fervently for it to happen. It’s a dream come true for me to see you, and have a handshake.
“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.”
The governor said free and fair elections would be one of the greatest legacies President Buhari would bequeath to the country, as the development was already being applauded home and abroad.
He gave his priorities in the State as development of agriculture, education, and investment drive.
Among the requests Gov Adeleke made were; support on infrastructure development, a proposed new economic city and free trade zone, tax credit, and other federal facilities in Osun State.
President Muhammadu Buhari however promised to consider the requests for assistance made by the governor.
