The Oyo State governor and candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo South Senatorial District in last Saturday’s Presidential and National Assembly elections, Abiola Ajimobi, has congratulated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Kola Balogun, on his victory.
In
a statement on Monday, Governor Ajimobi said there was nothing to feel
sad about because his party won two out of the three Senatorial seats
and nine out of 14 federal constituency seats.
“I hereby accept
the result as announced. Although there were a number of grievous
infractions and established electoral malpractices, I have decided to
let go in the interest of peace. I, therefore, congratulate the declared
winner, Hon. Kola Balogun and our APC Senators-elect, Abdulfatai Buhari
and Teslim Folarin,” the governor said.
While expressing
appreciation to the people of the state for their peaceful conduct and
large turnout during the elections, the governor said that the people of
the state had shown their love for the APC by voting massively for
President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC candidates.
The governor
added, “The victory has shown the unassailable leadership of the APC in
Oyo State. It has also shown that our people are appreciative of the
developmental strides of the APC in the state and the country at large.
“We
have taken Oyo State to an unprecedented level in terms of massive
infrastructural renewal. Most importantly, we have ensured peace in the
state.”
On the loss of Oyo South Senatorial seat to the PDP,
Governor Ajimobi said that would not deter him from his firm resolve and
that of the APC to work hard for the party’s victory in the
governorship election.
