Chairman of the Southwest Governors’ Forum and Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, has described the victory of Biodun Oyebanji as Ekiti Governor-Elect as symbolic for the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Governor Akeredolu said this in a Press Release by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde.
The Ondo State helmsman saluted the residents of Ekiti State over the smooth conduct of the June 18, 2022 governorship poll and congratulated Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji for his electoral victory.
Governor Akeredolu described the resounding victory as an unequivocal testament to the acceptability of the APC and sterling performance of the incumbent, Dr John Kayode Fayemi, in the state.
“I congratulate my brother, Biodun Oyebanji Abayomi on this victory. I rejoice with our great party, the APC. I salute the people of Ekiti for their resilience and peaceful conduct.
“This victory is for the people of Ekiti State and all lovers of democracy across the country. It is a mark of renewed commitment of the people to our party, the APC.
“No doubt, BAO’s vast experience in public service is an asset that would be deployed for the good of the people of Ekiti State. As a former Commissioner, Chief of Staff and later Secretary to the State Government, the governor-elect is well equipped to take the state to the next level.
“I have no doubt that BAO will consolidate on the gains of the outgoing administration of Governor Fayemi and leverage on the continuity of our party in government to further deliver dividends of good governance to the people.
“This is our first win since the emergence of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the Presidential candidate of our party. This election is, however, symbolic as it shows the preparedness and commitment of our people to vote enmass for the APC in the next year’s general election.” The Governor said.
He also gave kudos to the security agencies and the umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for conducting credible election in Ekiti notwithstanding pockets of hiccups.
Governor Akeredolu urged the people to maintain the winning streak for APC by voting for its candidate in the next year’s presidential election.
