Former senator who represent Kogi West in the 8th senate and partly in the 9th senate Dino Melaye has
Indicated that victory of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the just concluded gubernatorial election in Osun State is a good omen that signposts better outing for the party come 2023.
The maverick senator spoke through a message of felicitations in a statement he personally signed after the PDP candidate Adeleke was declared winner of the polls in Oshogbo on Saturday.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared the candidate of PDP, Adeleke winner with 403,371 votes to defeat the incumbent Governor and Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Gboyega Oyetola who polled 375,027 votes.
Melaye, in a press release issued Sunday morning and personally signed by him, said the victory was well-deserved considering the fact that Adeleke was brazenly robbed in the 2018 governorship contest in the State.
He, however, urged the former lawmaker to be magnanimous in victory in the interest of the people of the State and as well justify the confidence reposed in him by way of his election.
Senator Melaye, who was a two-time member of the National Assembly, also rejoiced with the PDP presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, for the Osun victory, saying it was good omen for the party.
“The victory of our party in Osun State is an indication of the confidence of ordinary Nigerians in the ability of PDP to change the narrative and deliver good governance to all.”
Melaye also felicitated the people of Osun State for the smooth conduct of the election, affirming that they are the real winners as they have been able to freely choose their leader for the next four years.
