Chief Oluwarotimi Akeredolu
President Muhammadu Buhari heartily congratulates the
Governor-Elect of Ondo State, Chief Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (SAN) of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) on his well-deserved victory in the
Saturday, November 26 governorship election in the state.
President Buhari also congratulates the Chairman of the APC, Chief
John Oyegun, the Chairman of the Campaign Committee, Governor Simon
Lalong of Plateau State, and all party faithful who put in their best
and braved the odds to ensure a successful outing for the flag bearer.
The President rejoices with the good people of Ondo State, who
aligned with his own belief that Chief Rotimi Akeredolu, with his
pedigree, possesses the qualities to transform the state into the Ondo
of their dreams.
"From the beginning, this election set out to be a different
kind of election. The unity and resilience of the party was tested. I am
happy we came out of this victorious.
"This is a huge win. The mood today is against corruption,
insecurity and for the restoration of the economy and the creation of
jobs. This is where the party stands and I am happy that the electorate
has read the situation correctly," said the President.
He calls on other contestants in the election to see the triumph of
Chief Akeredolu as the wish of God and enjoined them to work together
with him to make the state a truly progressive and economically
prosperous one for all.
The President commends the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC), the Security Agencies and the voters for the peaceful
and successful conduct of the elections.
As the Governor-elect prepares to assemble his team, and bring the
much desired CHANGE to the people, President Buhari urges him to put
behind whatever acrimonies may have arisen from the electioneering
process, and reach out to all well-meaning people in the state and
beyond, to implement his vision.
The President uses the opportunity to assure Nigerians that the
APC-led administration under his watch is committed to playing by the
rules, and there will be no let-up "until we see the great nation of our
dreams in all spheres of national development."
