David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has stated that President Muhammadu Buhari will leave a lasting legacy.
This came after the singer prayed for the president after the latter congratulated his uncle, Ademola Adeleke, the winner of the Osun State governorship election.
Buhari stated in a series of tweets on Sunday that the election results reflected the will of the people of Osun.
He said, “The people of Osun have expressed their will through the ballot. This is what democracy is all about: respect for the will of the people.
“The successful conduct of #OsunDecides2022 is a demonstration of the maturity and the commitment of all stakeholders, towards strengthening the integrity of the electoral process in Nigeria.
“I remain fully committed to leaving behind a legacy of credible elections in Nigeria.”
Quoting the last line of the retired general’s tweet, Davido said, “You will leave a LASTING legacy! God bless you for this act alone sir!”
The Independent National Electoral Commission had declared Adeleke winner of the state’s 2022 governorship election with 403,371 votes to defeat the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Adegboyega Oyetola, the sitting governor who polled 375,027 votes.
INEC Chief Returning Officer for Osun, Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, announced the result on Sunday morning.
