Re-elected Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, paid a courtesy visit to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
It is understood this is as part of a series of consultations in Abuja after his recent election victory.
The meeting was disclosed in a photograph posted on social media by Wike’s media aide, Lere Olayinka.
In the photo, Adeleke is seen shaking hands with the FCT Minister while they both hold the governor’s certificate of return.
Olayinka captioned the picture, “Governor Ademola Adeleke visits FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.”
Recall that the visit was hours after the governor met with President Bola Tinubu in a closed-door meeting at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa.
At the meeting, the governor presented his certificate of return, and thanked the people for the conduct of the August 15 governorship election.

Tinubu told the governor that the State Governor did not conquer anyone, but won an election.
He told Governor Adeleke not to stigmatize his opponent after the result of the Osun gubernatorial election, saying “whoever does not celebrate a free and fair election does not deserve the laughter and happiness of democracy.”
“Do not stigmatize any of your opponents,” he said. And the people of Osun State passed their judgment on you that they love you, they want you to govern. So you’re going back to rule.
Anybody, any democrat, anybody in the political environment who cannot celebrate the joy of a free and fair election does not deserve the laughter and the happiness of democracy.
“Don’t make an individual a victim of your campaign. Don’t do that! Not for yourself only. Not for Osun, not for the generations ahead. It’s more important that you build unity network.
“As I said, you didn’t conquer anyone. You won a poll That is what democracy is all about. I’m so glad we have this talk.”
