The Osun state governor-elect, has revealed how President Muhammadu Buhari contributed in his success at the just concluded governorship election in the state.
Adeleke, who spoke to Channels TV in an interview, said the president’s assent to the new Electoral Act, prevented rigging in the election.
“If he didn’t sign the act, there would be rigging. I have to give credit to him. We are in the digital age. When the result was coming out, it was just GBAM. Before they knew it, results were out. No time for rigging,” he said.
Adeleke also said he was elated by the president’s congratulatory message.
“I felt good. It is good for our country. Democracy is at play here. I’m sure when I receive my certificate of return from INEC, I will go and visit him and tell him thank you for the message.
“Most times opposition will not congratulate, but maybe he is trying to leave a legacy. Meaning that he meant the electoral act that he signed.”
Adeleke further disclosed that he is yet to receive a congratulatory call from the unseated governor, Gboyega Oyetola.
