There is something refreshing about political leaders being able to disagree during elections and still acknowledge each other after the votes are counted. We need less bitterness in Nigerian politics. You can oppose a man politically without wishing Nigeria to fail. You can support a President without becoming blind to his mistakes. Or not support him, yet acknowledge areas he has performed relatively well in. That is the balance we need. Nigeria Must Be Great In Our Time. #ITURA2027

I personally withdraw my earlier remarks that may have appeared disrespectful to the Governor of Edo State, His Excellency, Senator Monday Okpebholo. Governor Monday Okpebholo was in Osun State for the election and, in my view, conducted himself in a very uncharitable manner. But the election is now over. Going forward, I would respectfully advise the Governor to speak more through his media aides and reduce the activities of the two overzealous cheerleaders around him who are constantly shouting, hyping and hailing him. A lot of eminent Nigerians and respected members of the APC were in Osun State. Many worked even harder than Governor Monday Okpebholo for their party, yet none publicly disrespected Governor Ademola Adeleke or diminished the dignity of his office. I therefore withdraw any statement that may have appeared unduly insulting or disrespectful. Political disagreements should never prevent us from respecting public institutions and the offices people occupy. I equally encourage the good people of Edo State to continue to hold their Governor accountable. That is the responsibility of citizens in every democracy. - Pelumi Olajengbesi, Esq.,
