President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to consider the requests for assistance made by Osun State Governor, Sen. Ademola Adeleke.
President Buhari made the promise while receiving the governor at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Friday.
Adeleke, who was elected on platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said he had come to appreciate the President for providing a level-playing field in the July 16, 2022, gubernatorial election in Osun State.
Governor Adeleke said: “I had waited patiently for this appointment, and was praying fervently for it to happen. It’s a dream come true for me to see you and have a handshake.
“I am a beneficiary of the new Electoral Law you signed as it paved the way for free and fair elections, ruling out ballot box snatching and stuffing.
“The security agencies followed your instruction to be fair and firm, and I am so proud of you. You are a true father, regardless of political party differences.”
The governor said free and fair elections would be one of the greatest legacies President Buhari would bequeath to the country, saying the development was already being applauded home and abroad.
He gave his priorities in Osun State as development of agriculture, education, and investment drive.
Among requests Governor Adeleke made were support on infrastructure development, a proposed new economic city and free trade zone, tax credit, and other Federal facilities in Osun State.
