The aide, Uzoma Ani, who serves on South-East and Diaspora Matters, commended Tinubu over what he described as the President’s support for a credible governorship election in Osun State.
Ani also praised Osun voters for turning out to participate in the election, saying the exercise demonstrated the importance of allowing citizens to freely choose their leaders.
He said the conduct of the Osun election should be replicated across the country during the 2027 elections, particularly in the South-East.
The Ooni’s aide specifically appealed to the President to ensure that voters in Ebonyi State and other South-Eastern states are allowed to choose their leaders without intimidation or undue interference.
Ani also congratulated Governor Ademola Adeleke on his re-election, describing the result as a reflection of the decision of Osun voters.
He commended the people of the state for participating in the election and exercising their democratic rights.
According to him, the Osun outcome sends a message to political leaders that elected officials must remain responsive to the people who elected them.
Ani also called on governors to focus on issues affecting their constituents ahead of the 2027 elections, including infrastructure, healthcare, education and employment.
He particularly urged Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru to pay greater attention to the expectations of the people and prioritise projects that directly affect residents.
The aide said the Osun election should serve as a reminder that political power ultimately rests with the electorate.
