The All Progressives Congress (APC) has thanked the people of Ondo State for coming out en masse to reelect H.E. Rotimi Akeredolu SAN,
incumbent Governor and candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Saturday’s Ondo State Governorship election.
This was communicated via a statement by the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party, Yekini Nabena on Sunday.
While thanking the Ondo electorate for voting “for good governance, industrialisation, security, empowerment and general welfare of the state,” the party pledged to “continue to advocate for and support safe, free and credible elections that guarantee that valid votes count and the people’s will prevail.”
“The APC particularly thanks President Muhammadu Buhari as leader of the Party and Governor Mai Mala Buni as Chairman of the Party’s Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee for rallying our supporters, members and leaders, particularly our governors in total support of our governorship candidate, Rotimi Akeredolu.
“We also recognise and appreciate the tireless efforts of the Ondo State APC Reconciliation Committee chaired by the Governor of Niger State, H.E. Abubakar Sani Bello and the APC Ondo State Governorship National Campaign Council chaired by the Governor of Lagos State, H.E. Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The party commended the reconciliation efforts of the Governor Mai Mala Buni led APC Caretaker Committee while it also called on all and sundry to support Governor Akeredolu in his second tenure in his drive to position Ondo State in the appropriate place in the comity of States in Nigeria.
“Governor Akeredolu’s reelection is indeed testament to the inclusiveness, genuine reconciliation and peace the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led APC Caretaker Committee has ensured among party ranks in Ondo State, other chapters and the Party in general.
“The election is concluded, the people have decided and there is no vanquished. We seek general support for Governor Akeredolu as he continues his work to return the Sunshine State to its deserved and progressive standing among states in the country.
