Former Presidential Aspirant and Chief Medical Director (CMD) of Syke Hospital, Dr Thomas-Wilson Ikubese, has congratulated Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, on his victory in the governorship election.

Ikubese, in a statement issued on Sunday, said Adeleke’s victory in the governorship election has validated his age-long position that rigging an election will be a difficult task if the people come out en masse to vote for their candidates and are ready to stand by their votes.

The foremost medical doctor in Akure, the state capital, commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for allowing the will of the people of Osun State to prevail and called on them to improve upon this record in subsequent elections.

He said, “I call on all other political parties who participated in the election to now come together, join hands with Governor Adeleke of the Accord Party and work for the progress of the state, rather than engage in unnecessary legal tussles, as the result reflects the true aspirations of the people of Osun.

“While congratulating the winner, Governor Adeleke, I must not fail to congratulate my friend and professional colleague, Dr Saliu Oyelami of the People Redemption Party (PRP) for putting up a good appearance at the Osun gubernatorial election. I admonish him to share his vision with Governor Adeleke for the progress of the state.

I also appeal to Chief Sunday Adeyemo (a.k.a Sunday Igboho) to be mindful of making public appearances at political rallies in the future, so that his Iru Ekun security outfit is not robed in a political cocoon, thereby inhibiting its operations by partisan perceptions.

“I urge Governor Adeleke to reach out to all other candidates who contested this gubernatorial election with him, foster a positive bond and encourage them to share their manifestos with him for the betterment and progress of the people of Osun State.

“He should get back to work immediately and fulfil his electoral promises to the people of Osun State.

“I urge Nigerians to be ready to come out en masse at all times to exercise their franchise and stop saying that their votes will not count, because manipulation of results will be a Herculean task in the presence of overwhelming votes.”
