The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has congratulated the Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, on the celebration of his 63rd birthday on May 13, 2023, urging him to seek God to be able to deliver on his mandate, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

In the message, signed by one of the president’s media handlers, Femi Adesina, Buhari stated that Adeleke had solidified his base and gradually built a formidable network of friends and political allies that had helped him get victories, including leading one of the 36 states in the country.

Buhari added that Adeleke’s easygoing disposition had turned into an asset. He further urged the governor, whose victory was recently validated by the Supreme Court, to put the interest of the state and welfare of the people above all else, and seek God’s guidance to deliver on his mandate.
