Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State visited President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Friday.
The visit was Adeleke’s first to the president since he was inaugurated as governor in November
After the meeting in the president’s office, the Osun state governor told correspondents that he came to thank the president for signing the Electoral Act, which enabled him to be elected as governor.
Adeleke, who was elected on the ticket of the main opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said the President’s action paved the way for free and fair elections in the state.
The governor added that his visit to the villa also provided him the opportunity to discuss other issues of federal assistance with the Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari.
Below are the words of Adeleke at the presidential villa;
“Well, am happy to tell you that I just saw the president looking so well, looking so good, and am happy about that.
“Since my election, I’ve felt like I should come and say hello to Mr. President and thank him for signing the Electoral Act because I must have benefited from it.
“That paved way for free and fair elections. And all the International community are applauding Nigeria, saying that Nigeria is set for democracy.
“So, that’s why am here today, to see him and thank him and wish him well for the remaining time in office
