Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke arrived at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday for a meeting with President Bola Tinubu, his first visit to the seat of power since winning last Saturday's governorship election.
It was observed that Adeleke pulled into the Villa's forecourt at 5:25 pm, dressed in navy blue traditional attire and carrying a walking stick. He stepped out of a black Toyota Land Cruiser SUV, arriving alongside the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.
The Punch reported that the visit comes on the back of a telephone congratulatory call Tinubu placed to Adeleke following his re-election win. The President had described the outcome as "a fitting assurance that democracy will continue to flourish in our country" and urged the governor to reach out to all Osun residents, including those who did not vote for him.
