Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State and presidential hopeful from the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), along with Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, congratulated Ademola Adeleke on his re-election as the Governor of Osun State.

He commended the youth for their active participation in the electoral process and stressed the importance of civic responsibility.

Obi noted that the Osun election serves as a lesson for the upcoming 2027 general elections, urging Nigerians to engage actively in democracy and prioritize peaceful electoral contests based on ideas and service rather than violence.
