President Muhammadu Buhari has said that elections should be seen as a part to an end, adding that it’s the process of people’s progress in a peaceful environment, rather than unending bickering.
Buhari made this known after Supreme Court affirmed Governor Ademola Adeleke as the the winner of Osun state governorship election on Tuesday, in Abuja.
With the final decision by the Court, the President emphasize the important role of the judiciary in deepening rule of law and democracy.
According to him, “elections should be seen as the path to an end, which is the progress of these people in a peaceful environment, rathers than unending bickering. This is the time for inclusion and harmony in the State at the end of litigation.”
President Buhari reminds the political class and their supporters that the main task at hand is to make the people feel the impact of good governance, where a prosperous, peaceful and stable Osun is guaranteed.
He, therefore, urges all citizens and residents of the State, particularly her notable sons and daughters, to give the government of Senator Ademola Adeleke all the support it needs to ensure that programmes, policies, plans and aspirations fashioned to make individuals and businesses flourish succeed.
Meanwhile, he expressed gratitude to the people of Osun for contributing immensely to the development of the nation, particularly through the State’s rich cultural heritage, the several historic sites and tourist attractions, including the Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The President believes Osun State government will continue to develop the boundless resources in the State of the Living Spring, complementing the roles of the government at the Centre on national development and prosperity.
