Governor Ademola Adeleke on Thursday used the occasion of the 35th anniversary of Osun State to discuss reconciliation and post-election peace with his predecessors including Chief Bisi Akande and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.

A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by the governor’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed noted that Adeleke has initiated several steps to heal the wounds of the 2026 governorship election adding that he spoke at length with a former governor of the state, who is also the pioneer APC National Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande urging restoration of elite interaction and consensus.

‘The governor briefed the former governor on his reconciliation and peace moves and the need for all the leaders to support a post-election peace agenda and the unification of the people badly divided due to pre-election violence among others.

The governor also spoke with former governors Olagunsoye Oyinlola and Rauf Aregbesola and informed them of his desire to reconcile all political groups while congratulating the predecessors in question on the 35th anniversary of the state.

In the same vein, the governor also called former governor Gboyega Oyetola and the APC governorship candidate, Mr Bola Oyebamiji but they neither picked up nor returned the calls as at the time of issuing this press statement’ the statement said.

The statement added that the governor also said he has reached out to other stakeholders in the state:

‘We are celebrating the 35th anniversary of the creation of our dear state. So, it is customary that I felicitate leaders of various groups. I have commended them for their contributions to the development of the state.

Then, my central message is to preach and act for peace and reconciliation. I repeated my earlier statement that there is no victor, no vanquished. Election has come and gone and it is time for us to return to governance and healing of electoral wounds.

I am conscious of the request of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that I should champion peace building and state reconciliation. That is my preoccupation as reflected in my state address and that is my appeal to my predecessors and even my former co-contestants in the last guber election.

We must unite our people and prepare an enabling environment for them to enjoy the dividends of democracy and continued delivery of good governance. I will not stop in my peace drive to sustain development. This is a sacred task I am passionately committed to’ the governor added-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
