Be Great-Hearted in Victory, Saraki Urges Akeredolu

President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki has
congratulated the Governor-elect of Ondo
State, Chief Rotimi Akerodolu over his victory
at the poll.

Saraki in a statement by his Special Adviser,
Media and Publicity Mr Yusuph Olaniyonu, in
Abuja on Sunday, said the people of Ondo
state “could not have had a better choice.’’
Saraki said Akeredolu’s victory did not come
to him as a surprise, going by his excellent
credentials and years of preparedness for the
business of governance.
He, however, urged the governor-elect to be
magnanimous in victory by working with all
relevant stakeholders in the arduous task of
moving the Sunshine State to the next level.
He urged Akeredolu to fully deploy his wealth
of experience garnered over many years in
private legal practice in running the affairs of
the state.
Saraki lauded the security agencies and INEC
for the peaceful conduct of the election and
thanked the people of the state for voting for
APC during the election.
Saraki said: “The people of Ondo have made a
clear choice by voting for the APC. I can only
assure the good people of Ondo state that
APC and its flag bearer have all it takes to
wipe away your tears.
‘’Akeredolu will provide you the dividends of
democracy that have hitherto eluded you.
“With Akeredolu on the saddle of governance, I
have no doubt that the state will soon witness
unparalleled development socially,
economically and politically.’’ (NAN)
