Afenifere Congratulates Adeleke on Big Osun Win, Lauds Peaceful Conduct

Prominent pan-Yoruba socio-political group Afenifere has extended its warm congratulations to Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke following his re-election, praising the peaceful and orderly atmosphere during the state’s governorship election.

In a statement addressing the election outcome, the elder statesmen applauded the citizens of Osun State for coming out in large numbers to exercise their democratic rights without resorting to violence. The organization highlighted that the maturity shown by the electorate reinforces the South-West region’s standing as a cornerstone of democratic stability and issue-based politics in Nigeria.

Afenifere also commended electoral officials and security agencies for their coordinated efforts in securing polling units, preventing intimidation, and facilitating a transparent voting process. The group noted that the smooth administration of the election helped safeguard the integrity of the ballot and ensured the will of the people was respected.

Looking ahead to the governor’s second term, Afenifere charged Adeleke to build on his administration’s momentum by prioritizing youth empowerment, expanding state infrastructure, and driving socio-economic welfarism. The group further encouraged the governor to collaborate closely with fellow regional leaders to promote economic integration, security, and sustainable development across the South-West.
