The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2027 presidential election, Peter Obi, has congratulated Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, on his re-election, describing the victory as a significant democratic achievement and a demonstration of the power of the people.
Obi, in a statement by Idris Zekeri Jnr, titled ‘Osun: When the People Stand, Democracy Wins,’ stated that the people of Osun State had “spoken with courage and clarity,” reaffirming that the power to choose their leaders belongs to the people.
He noted that Adeleke’s renewed mandate reflected his commitment to the people, compassion for their needs, and the strength of his work and achievements in office.
The NDC presidential candidate particularly commended the youth of Osun State for what he described as the courageous and peaceful defence of their democratic mandate.
According to him, their vigilance and determination demonstrated that when citizens stand firmly to protect their votes, “the forces of good can overcome the forces of darkness.”
Obi emphasised that the lesson from Osun was that democracy is strongest when citizens are alert, aware of their civic responsibilities, and determined to ensure that their votes are counted. He stressed that every genuine vote must be respected and every lawful mandate upheld.
