According to him, his confidence was largely rooted in his personal faith and prayers. He explained that he regularly prayed privately and did not necessarily discuss his expectations with other people.
Deji said his conviction remained strong throughout the election period, despite the presence of formidable challengers and the intense political competition surrounding the poll.
His comments came as supporters and members of the Adeleke family gathered to celebrate the governor’s electoral victory. The occasion provided an opportunity for the family to reflect on the campaign and the outcome of the election.
The governor’s re-election represents another significant moment in his political career, particularly given the political realignments and competition that preceded the election.
For Deji, however, the result was not a surprise. He maintained that his belief in his brother’s victory had remained firm throughout the process.
The development has also placed renewed attention on the political influence of the Adeleke family in Osun State. Ademola Adeleke’s political journey has continued to attract significant public interest, while members of his family, including Deji and internationally recognised music star Davido, have remained prominent figures around his political activities.
Following his victory, attention is now expected to shift toward the governor’s next phase in office and the expectations of Osun residents.
The re-election also places greater responsibility on Adeleke to consolidate his administration’s programmes, address the concerns of residents and fulfil the promises made during the campaign.
As celebrations continue among his supporters, Deji Adeleke’s remarks have added a personal dimension to the governor’s victory, highlighting the confidence and prayers that accompanied the family throughout the election.
For the Adeleke family, the outcome has provided another reason to celebrate, while Governor Adeleke now faces the task of turning his electoral victory into stronger governance and tangible benefits for the people of Osun State.
