APM Lagos State governorship candidate Prince Laja Adeoye congratulates Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke on his re-election. In a statement released on Sunday, Adeoye describes Adeleke’s victory as a triumph of voters’ will and as proof that the election outcome reflects choices made at the ballot box.

Adeoye says the result demonstrates that a determined electorate can resist political pressure. Both outlets report that his comments also include an appeal to Lagosians to embrace the “power of the vote,” linking the Osun election outcome to the broader importance of voting decisions in Nigeria’s political process.
