VIDEO: Tinubu Receives Osun APC Guber Candidate, Oyebamiji

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday evening met with the governorship candidate of the Osun State All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Oyebamiji.

The meeting was made known in a post on X on Friday by Tinubu’s Special Assistant on Social Media, Olusegun Dada.

He shared a video of the meeting with the caption, “President Bola Tinubu meets in audience Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji, the governorship candidate of the APC in the recently concluded Osun State gubernatorial elections.”

Naija News reports that this is coming 24 hours after the President met with Governor Ademola Adeleke, who won the election.

 

During the meeting, the governor presented his certificate of return to Tinubu and expressed gratitude for the conduct of the August 15 governorship election.

Speaking to the governor, Tinubu said the State Governor did not conquer anyone but won an election.

He urged Governor Adeleke not to stigmatise his opponent following the outcome of the Osun gubernatorial election, stressing that anyone who does not celebrate a free and fair election does not deserve the laughter and the happiness of democracy.

He said, “Don’t stigmatise any of your opponents. And the people of Osun State pronounced their judgment on you that they love you, they want you to govern. So you’re going back to govern.

“Anybody, any democrat, anybody in the political environment who cannot celebrate the joy of a free and fair election does not deserve the laughter and the happiness of democracy.

“Don’t make a single individual a victim of your campaign. Don’t. Not for you alone; not for the sake of Osun alone, for the generations to come. It’s more important for you to build a network of unity.

“As I said, you did not conquer anybody. You won an election. That is the essence of democracy. I’m so happy that we have this talk.”
