”I just saw our President, looking so well, looking so good and I am happy about that. Since my election, I feel like I should come and say hello to Mr. President and thank him for signing that Electoral Act because I benefited from it.

“So that is why I’m here today; to see him, thank him and wish him well in his remaining time in office,” Adeleke said.
