President Muhammadu Buhari has recognised the Supreme Court verdict on the July 16, 2022 governorship election in Osun State as well the important role of the judiciary in deepening democracy and rule of law.
The president stated in a statement issued by his Media Aide, Mr Femi Adesina, on Tuesday in Abuja.
According to Buhari, with the verdict of the apex court, the main task at hand now is to make the people feel the impact of good governance, where a prosperous, peaceful and stable Osun is guaranteed.
He, therefore, urged all the residents of the state to give the government of Senator Ademola Adeleke all the support it needed to ensure that programmes, policies, plans and aspirations fashioned to make individuals and businesses flourish succeeded.
“Elections should be seen as the path to an end, which is the progress of the people in a peaceful environment, rather than unending bickering.
“This is the time for inclusion and harmony in the state at the end of the litigation,” he said.
Buhari thanked the people of Osun for their immense contribution to the development of the nation, particularly through the state’s rich cultural heritage, the several historic sites and tourist attractions, including Osun Osogbo Sacred Grove, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
He assured that the Federal Government would continue to develop the boundless resources in the state to enhance national development and prosperity.
