Senator Adeola, who had also gone through electoral petitions at various levels in all his five previous electoral victories to validate the peoples mandate, called on politicians to respect the wishes of the people as expressed through the ballot box instead of heating up the polity with what amounts in most cases to frivolous petition in vain attempts to scuttle democratic wishes of the people adding that in any democratic contest, there must be winners and losers.

Opposition parties should now join hands with the President in finding solution to the myriads of problems facing the nation” he stated.
