#OsunDecides2022: Osun NIPR Congratulates, Charges Adeleke

The Osun State Chapter of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) has called on the Osun Governor-elect to carry all his fellow contestants onboard.

This is as it entreated all the contestants to observe the provisions of the peace charter they signed.

This was contained in a press statement signed by Ademola Adesoji, the Osun NIPR chairman obtained by AllNews Nigeria on Monday.

The public relations body also implored the gubernatorial candidates to support the incoming administration.

"On behalf of the Osun State Chapter of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations, I congratulate all the gubernatorial candidates, their media handlers, political parties, and all the Public Relations practitioners that have participated either directly or indirectly in the July 16 gubernatorial election. 

"We are so happy that everything went peacefully, and as stated in our peace summit tagged "Omoluabi Convergence", we affirmed that out of the fifteen gubernatorial candidates, only one would emerge Governor-elect.

"According to the rules of engagement of the competition, which is basically not to lose, but to participate, we hereby congratulate all the political parties that contested the election. 

"Likewise, going by the peace charter they all signed, pledging to embrace peace before, during and after the election, and support whoever emerges Governor-elect, we want to urge them to kindly support the winner in the interest of Osun State and its people.
