APC Leader Asiwaju Bloa Ahmed Tinubu (akaJAGABAN) Finally Speaks On Akeredolu's Victory
A former Lagos State
governor, Bola Tinubu aka JAGABAN, on
Sunday congratulated Rotimi
Akeredolu, the winner of the
governorship election in
Ondo State.
Mr. Tinubu had been
opposed to Mr. Akeredolu’s
emergence as candidate of
their party, APC, alleging
irregularities in the party’s
primaries.
The former governor and his
key supporters were
conspicuously absent during
Mr. Akeredolu’s campaign
rallies.
However, on Sunday, few
hours after Mr. Akeredolu
was declared winner by the
electoral commission, INEC,
Mr. Tinubu asked party
members to close ranks “for
the good of our party and its
progressive ideals.”
Read Mr. Tinubu’s full
statement below:
Following the announcement
by the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC)
with regard to the
governorship elections in
Ondo State, I extend
congratulations to Mr.
Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN.
on the outcome of the
election and for his
perseverance and persistence
in seeking that office.
I must also congratulate the
people of Ondo State for their
generally exemplary conduct
on election day and for
demonstrating their will to
shun the regressive politics of
yesterday by returning to the
progressive brand of politics
that has been the trademark
of the people of that state.
I congratulate all party
members in the state,
particularly the party
leadership in the Southwest.
Finally, I must express profound
congratulations to President
Muhammadu Buhari, the national leader
of the party, whose stature and dignity
helped guide the APC to another victory
that should advance the progressive aims
of the party and the people.
To all the people and parties in Ondo,
your election has been had and held.
Now is the time that all must work for
the continued development, prosperity
and peace of your state and our beloved
country.
I appeal to all party members including
those who have been disaffected from
the primary until today to come together
for the good of our party and its
progressive ideals.
