Governor Ademola Ademola, on Sunday warned residents and his supporters against any form of post-electiion attacks, just as he appealed for restoration of peace and unity among the citizenry in order to heal old wounds of pre-election violence.

Addressing journalists after his election victory at the Saturday governorship election, the governor warns against post-election attacks on rivals and avoidance of counter-attacks from old wounds, noting that communal love can only be achieved through compassion after weeks of gun attacks across the state.

While observing a minute silence for victims of the pre-election violence, the re-elected governor tasked community leaders and traditional institutions to embark on peace building in their communities as “the issues are settled by the grace of God and people.”

Adeleke, however, dedicated the victory to God and the people of Osun just as he commended their resilience, strong will and unwavering commitment to democracy.

“As you have trusted me with second term in office, I will reinforce my strong points and correct my errors. Osun will witness further accelerated development and growth under my renewed five point agenda.

“To all lovers of democracy, I thank you for supporting our struggle. From home and abroad, the support is overwhelming. My faith in democracy is deepened.

“Most importantly, I thank the media for standing by us. The constant coverage in support of democracy emboldened us. We are grateful. Osun state is on the march again. We shall expand development, and  widen the net of good governance,” Adeleke remarked.
