“I am super excited. This is the Lord’s doing. This is the manifestation of God’s hand. This is the will of the people of Osun State,” he said.
“I am glad because this election has clearly shown that Governor Ademola Adeleke is the man of the people. This election has justified that Mr Governor has performed very well.
“The people of Osun State have renewed the mandate by supporting him as the Governor of Osun State. So we are glad, we are super happy,” he added.
Olajengbesi said the outcome also vindicated Adeleke’s confidence throughout the campaign, noting that the governor had consistently placed his trust in God.
“Importantly, we are glad because throughout the process of this campaign, Mr Governor was very confident. He had his trust in God, and this election is done already.
“This is the proof that the people of Osun State are determined to elect a leader who is willing to serve the people of Osun State,” he said.
