Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose has congratulated Ademola Adeleke on his victory at the Osun-West Senatorial by-election on Saturday.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, on Monday, Fayose said Adeleke brother’s death was not in vain.

“This victory is an invitation and a call to serve your state, Nigeria and mankind. After election, what should come next is how to bring dividends of democracy to the people. How to continue the legacy of the Adeleke family which accounted for the love displayed by the people for you and which translated to the electoral victory.

“You are responsible to all your constituents without discrimination of any sort. Having been born to a family of great politicians, with your father serving as a senator in the Second Republic, ‎your elder brother being a former governor and senator, no doubt you must have undergone political tutelage that you should put to practice to excel in your new calling,” he said.

He also commended the Osun state governor, Rauf Aregbesola for conceding defeat.

“If it were some politicians that we know, they will still be licking their wounds three years after being woefully beaten in an election,” he stated.
