Oluwafemi said: "The Court of Appeal judgement and the Supreme Court, which is the apex court of the land, have indeed restored hope to every Osun citizen.

"With the conclusion of litigation, the governor will now settle down and focus on human and capital development that will add value to the state and the lives of its people.

"He has done credibly well since his inauguration as Governor of Osun, and I believe he will do better than what many expect."

To ensure that the current government works better than the prior one, Efunkunle urged the assistance of all state stakeholders.

In a same vein, residents of Rinsayo Estate in Osogbo, Mrs. Mary Ogundayo and Miss Comfort Adeyemi, hailed God for the Supreme Court decision upholding Adeleke's triumph.
