Lagos 2027: Adeoye hails Adeleke, urges Lagosians to embrace power of vote
The Lagos State governorship candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Prince Laja Adeoye, has congratulated Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, on his re-election, describing the outcome as a victory for the people.
Adeoye said the Osun election demonstrated that determined voters could protect their mandate despite alleged intimidation, heavy security presence and other attempts to influence the electoral process.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Adeleke, the Accord Party candidate, winner after he polled 511,067 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who secured 444,815 votes.
Adeleke won in 19 of Osun State’s 30 local government areas, while Oyebamiji secured 11, giving the incumbent governor a margin of 66,252 votes.
Reacting to the outcome, Adeoye urged Lagos residents to recognise the power of their votes ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
He encouraged Lagosians to participate actively in the electoral process and use their votes to determine the kind of leadership they want for the state.
