Adedeji advised citizens to always create the enabling environment for peaceful elections for the commission.
He commended the people of Osun West for their peaceful conduct during and after the Saturday election, saying that they have set precedence for Nigeria election.
“I must commend the people of Osun South West for the way and manner they conducted themselves in the election.
“They conducted themselves in a peaceful, friendly and ideal atmosphere for elections. They have set a role model or standard for others to emulate.
“The people of Osun have shown us how elections should be conducted,” he said.
Adedeji said that if the citizens conduct themselves in peaceful way as the people of Osun West did, the work of the commission would be easier.
He thereafter presented the certificate of return to Adedeji.
Responding, Adeleke commended INEC for conducting the election in a free, fair and credible manner.

The senator-elect also commended his constituents for their support and the way they created a peaceful atmosphere for the election.
Adeleke in an interview with newsmen pledged not to disappoint the people of the state that elected him.
He pledged to introduce free medical care and free interest microfinance in his constituency.
He advised the party never to discard a candidate with winning potential.
The senator-elect said that he was glad for the PDP that gave him a platform to contest and he won.
“I followed all the electoral process and I was declared unopposed in the primaries until they started their manipulations.
“I used to be in the Peoples’ Democratic Party and I am back home now.
“My interest was in APC, but it was when I got there, we discovered that they don’t practice democracy,” Adeleke said.
