Osun Governorate: Davido, Udom, Ladoja, Oyinlola present for Adeleke's inauguration
Thousands of People's Democratic Party supporters besieged Osogbo Township Stadium for Ademola Adeleke's inauguration ceremony.
Mr. Adeleke will be sworn in as governor of Osun today after being declared the winner of the gubernatorial election held in July in the southwestern state.
He defeated incumbent Governor Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress who lost his bid for a second term.
Although Mr Oyetola still disputes the election result in court, Mr Adeleke would be sworn in as Governor today.
The groundbreaking ceremony brought together thousands of PDP supporters from different parts of the state, which caused traffic jams along the road leading to the stadium.
The stadium was already packed to capacity by 10 a.m. before the arrival of the governor-elect and other dignitaries.
Mr. Adeleke, who arrived at the stadium around 11.25am, was accompanied by his cousin, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, amid tight security.
Mr. Adeleke and other members of his entourage were greeted by thousands of supporters who defied the scorching sun.
With the arrival of Mr. Adeleke, the inauguration ceremony began but hundreds of supporters were still struggling to find their way around the stadium.
Most of the supporters were dressed in purple Ankara with caps bearing the PDP logo and a picture of Mr Adeleke.
At the time of writing, Udom Emmanuel, Governor of Akwa Ibom State, was the only PDP governor present at the inauguration.
Other dignitaries who were already seated were former governors, traditional rulers and PDP leaders.
A former governor of Osun State, Olagunsoye Oyinolola, and a former governor of Oyo State, Rasheed Ladoja, were also present.
Traditional rulers present included the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi and the Oragun of Ila, Wahab Oyedotun.
Titi Abubakar, wife of PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar was also present at the inauguration.
