Osun 2026: ADC’s Najeem Salaam congratulates Adeleke on re-election
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in the Osun State 2026 election, Dr Najeem Salaam, has congratulated Governor Ademola Adeleke on his re-election.
Salaam, in a congratulatory message, said the outcome of the election reflected the choice of the people and urged all stakeholders to respect the result.
He said democratic contests would always involve different choices, opinions and interests, but stressed that what mattered was allowing the people to freely exercise their right to choose their leaders.
“Today, the people have spoken, and their choice must be respected. As Omoluabi, we must understand that politics is not a do-or-die affair. Political differences should never become reasons to threaten our peace, unity or brotherhood,” he said.
Salaam urged Adeleke to use his second term to reflect on areas where his administration might have fallen short, improve on them and consolidate the achievements recorded during his first tenure.
He said governance was a continuous process and that every administration had areas that required reflection, correction and improvement.
The ADC candidate also called on the governor to govern beyond party lines and work towards building a state where all residents could live with dignity, security and hope for a better future.
“Once again, congratulations, Your Excellency. May your second term bring greater development, peace and prosperity to the good people of Osun State. Politics is not a do-or-die affair. The people have spoken; democracy has prevailed,” Salaam said.
