The traditional ruler commended the opposition Peoples Democratic Party and its candidate in the disputed election, Sen. Ademola Adeleke, for going through the legally legitimate means to seek clarifications over the election.

The monarch urged politicians to emulate his gesture and remain peaceful in their conduct.

“It is heartwarming to have the Peoples Democratic Party and its candidate shunning violence and other illegitimate acts.

“Politicians must be seen to be peace loving and (should )always act legally on matters of political interest irrespective of party differences.

“No one is a loser, we are all owners of the state and we deserve all the best.

“The judgement is not about the Peoples Democratic Party or the All Progressives Congress, it is about us as a people of the same family and our unborn generations.

“Elections and politics have gone, no more distractions, the governor must now focus on governance.
