He told Governor Adeleke not to stigmatize his opponent after the result of the Osun gubernatorial election, saying “whoever does not celebrate a free and fair election does not deserve the laughter and happiness of democracy.”

He said, “Don’t stigmatize any of your opponents. And the people of Osun State has spoken that they love you, they want you to govern. So you’re going back to rule.

“Anyone, any democrat, anyone in the political environment who cannot celebrate the joy of a free and fair election does not deserve the laughter and the happiness of democracy.

“Don’t let your campaign victimize a person. Don’t do that. Not for you alone. Not for the sake of Osun alone, for the generations to come. It’s more important you create unity network.

“As I said, you didn’t conquer anyone. You won a vote That is the core of democracy. I’m so happy we have this talk.”
