Buhari, in a statement released Friday by his spokesperson Garba Shehu, thanked the people of the state for supporting good governance.
He also commended INEC for a well conducted election.
“Thank you Osun State for supporting our good governance agenda by re-electing the APC. I assure you that we will continue to work for the progress and prosperity of the state and the nation,” he said.
The President urged Oyetola to put the interest of the people at heart by being committed to policies that directly impact their lives and families.
He affirmed that “the successful election in the State further strengthens the democratic culture in the country”, extolling INEC for, “once again, making the country proud.”
Buhari also encouraged the contestants who are displeased with the outcome of the election to seek redress in court.
