Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello has urged his Osun state counterpart Gboyega Oyetola, to extend hands of fellowship to his main rival in the last governorship election in Osun, Ademola Adeleke, to ensure that the state gets purposeful leadership.
He gave the advice in a statement issued on Friday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Onogwu Muhammed.
Governor Bello was reacting to the affirmation of Governor Gboyega’s electoral victory by the Supreme Court.
He described the Supreme Court judgement as victory for democracy, saying:“I have been in election tribunals down to the Supreme Court and can attest to the level of distraction a Governor and his administration face on account of some needless litigations.
“But a calm disposition, open-mindedness and inclusiveness towards everybody; including those who instituted litigations against you, is what defines a true leader,” Bello said.
He urged Governor Oyetola to build on the policies that have defined him as a good ambassador of the All Progressives Congress, APC while sustaining the programmes and developmental agenda of his state in line with the party’s manifesto.
He said after all the legal tussles, the lesson is to ensure that the citizens are repaid with good governance which is a proof that their confidence in their leader were not misplaced.
