The governor of Osun State Ademola Adeleke, on Friday, thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for signing the Electoral Act Amendment Bill (2022) into law, the Punch reports.
According to Adeleke, the piece of legislation, which he said entrenched free and fair elections, aided his emergence as governor in the July 16 Osun State governorship polls in 2022.
He said this at Abuja after meeting with President Buhari.
While briefing journalists, he said, “Since my election, I felt like I should come and say hello to Mr. President and thank him for signing that Electoral Act because I benefited from it.
“That paved way for free and fair elections and the international community is applauding Nigeria, that Nigeria is set for democracy.
“So that is why I’m here today; to see him, thank him and wish him well in his remaining time in office.”
