He said Adeleke’s re-election reflected his good deeds in the state and the confidence people had in his leadership, adding, “Democracy and the people have once again won.”
“I commend the people of Osun for their participation in the democratic process, and functional education remains a potent instrument for empowering citizens and strengthening democratic values.
“Functional education is a potent weapon against oppression, intimidation and ignorance.”
He said that the principle remained essential to building informed citizens and sustaining democratic institutions across the country and beyond.
“We celebrate the people of Osun and Nigeria for allowing democracy and the people to win,” he said.
He added that the outcome clearly reflected citizens’ participation and democratic choice.
Optimism
The Vice-Chancellor also acknowledged Adeleke’s support for education and his commitment to developing the sector.
He emphasised that sustained investment would strengthen institutions and improve opportunities for students across Osun.
He expressed optimism that the governor’s second term would provide an opportunity to consolidate his achievements and deepen developmental programmes across the state, particularly in education, infrastructure, healthcare and empowerment initiatives.
Adebooye further expressed confidence that Adeleke’s continued leadership would strengthen the partnership between his administration and UNIOSUN, creating greater opportunities for the university to contribute to socio-economic transformation across Osun.
He, therefore, on behalf of the Governing Council, Senate, management, staff and students of UNIOSUN, wished the governor wisdom, good health and renewed strength in serving Osun citizens during his term.
