On Sunday, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, congratulated Governor Ademola Jackson Adeleke on his re-election for a second term in the governorship election held on Saturday. Abbas stated that the election results, as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which showed the Accord Party winning with 511,067 votes against the APC's 444,815 and the ADC's 17,180, demonstrate that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a true democrat.

He emphasized that the victory of the opposition Accord Party indicates that democracy flourishes under Tinubu's leadership. Abbas, represented by his deputy, Hon. Benjamin Kalu (Rep, Bende), during the campaign for APC candidate Bolaji Oyebamiji, expressed that the APC has allowed opposition parties to gauge their popularity through free and fair elections.

He urged Governor Adeleke to fulfill the mandate given by the Osun people and deliver on democratic dividends. Abbas also commended INEC, security agencies, and the National Youth Service Corps for their roles in the election.
